How do I not use my one jQuery validation rule if the input field is empty?
I have two inputs on a form for additional email addresses, and have their required set to false, although I have another rule which checks if the email entered is a valid email. Even when the user does not enter an email, the message for my valid email rule is still appearing.
How do I only use the valid email rule if the input is not empty?
function additionalEmailEntered(){
return $("#additionalEmail1" || "#additionalEmail2" ).val().length > 0;
}
$('#registerNewClient').validate({
rules:{
additionalEmail1:{
required: false,
validate_email:{
depends:additionalEmailEntered,
}
},
additionalEmail2:{
required: false,
validate_email:{
depends:additionalEmailEntered,
}
},
},
