How do i get wforms 3.0 validation working?

[rel...@gmail.com]

I am trying to force the feature on that will not submit hidden form
values, i checked the 2.0 documentation and it said

wFORMS.behaviors.validation.submitSwitchedOffFields = false;

i tried adding this right below

<script type="text/javascript" src="/lib/wforms.js"></script>

and it did nothing

i even added a class="required" to one of the fields, but that
wouldn't
work either

We left that out of v3 (the implementation in v2 was buggy).

You can use this instead:
http://code.google.com/p/wforms/source/browse/tags/3.0/customization/wforms_custom_clear_switch.js

(download a copy and include the file after loading wforms.js)

This clears field values when the fields are switched off. Note that
the fields are submitted anyway (they're just blank), so that may not
do exactly what you need.

thanks, i modified it to get the disabled behavior instead of empty
values because i am submitting the form via "GET" and dont want the
variables taking up the extra url if not neccessary here is the
updated file
