Webdriver and jQuery Form Validation

[Eric Cope]

Hello all,
I am trying to use WebDriver to test my web applications web forms. I
am using jQuery's validation-engine to validate on the client side.
However, I can't get webDriver to trigger the necessary jQuery events
to trigger the validation engine to show errors, and block a form
submission in the event of a validation error. What Selenium commands
do I need to trigger those jQuery actions? Do I need custom javascript
to trigger those actions?

Any references are appreciated as well.

Thanks,
Eric Cope

we use jQuery too.

e.g for an inputfield we use this code to get the validation:

public void getValidationbyTextinput(WebElement FieldId, String Input) {

        FieldId.clear();

        FieldId.sendKeys(Input,Keys.TAB);

        Actions actions = new Actions(driver);

        actions.moveToElement(FieldId).perform();

    }

Thanks for the help. I have a few questions. Is that Java code below? Do you know the Selenium core commands issued by those methods below?
If you provide a link to the Java library you are using I can dig in to it to figure it out if you don't know off the top of your head.

Thanks,
Eric Cope

Yes it is Java code.

I import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.Actions; to use it.
