I have set up the jQuery-Validation-Engine addon (https://github.com/posabsolute/jQuery-Validation-Engine) and it works great on the submit button.
However, since i invoked a tab-based interface, it doesn't really bring the user back to the proper tab with the error fields.
As a work around, i've decided its better to validate each tab when leaving to the next one (as it is a step-wise tab) so that the button click at the end will only 'really' need to correct any errors on the currently displayed tab.
I'm using a simple anchor to call some div swaps (using negative margins for content off-page). I'd like to invoke the validation method to this as well.
Documentation says it can only be attached to a form element.
Any ideas?
Update- i ditched the tab idea and am now using one big form so this no longer really applies.
No support led to going after a different approach. No longer needed.
