form field with brackets breaks validatethis

[Casey Dougall]

Hi,

I have a form auto generated form field that posts as prodSku[]

Validate This doesn't seem to like this much.

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'form' of undefined

/*<![CDATA[*/jQuery(function($){var $form_AddProductForm = $("#AddProductForm");$form_AddProductForm.validate({ignore:'.ignore'});var fm={};fm['prodSku[]'] = $(":input[name='prodSku[]']",$form_AddProductForm);fm['prodSku[]'].rules("add",{required:true,messages:{required:"Product SKU required, please select a product"}});});/*]]>*/</script>

This is in a coldBox application. my xml is as such...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <validateThis xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="validateThis.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <objectProperties> <property name="prodSku[]"> <rule type="required" failureMessage="Product SKU required, please select a product" /> </property> </objectProperties> </validateThis>

if I change prodSku[] to prodSku the remaining jquery objects load on the page but of course I won't be able to validate this form field.

is there something I can update in validateThis to allow brackets in a formfield or should I look into this autogenerated field. it's an autosugest function that adds X amount of products which turns the field from prodSku into prodSku[] before posting.

this field is used in other froms so I don't want to mess with it unless I need to, but this one area it's being used requires validation so I need to come up with something to get around the problem.

Thank you to the group for your assistance.

regards,

Casey

Just noticed this post. For reference with jQuery selectors you need to escape the square brackets so this should work:

/*<![CDATA[*/jQuery(function($){var $form_AddProductForm = $("#AddProductForm");$form_AddProductForm.validate({ignore:'.ignore'});var fm={};fm['prodSku\\[\\]'] = $(":input[name='prodSku\\[\\]']",$form_AddProductForm);fm['prodSku\\[\\]'].rules("add",{required:true,messages:{required:"Product SKU required, please select a product"}});});/*]]>*/</script>
