Select2 and validationEngine Not Working

[msp...@gmail.com]

I'm attempting to use this validation plugin, http://www.position-relative.net/creation/formValidator/js/jquery.validationEngine.js with select2 and am having no luck making it work.

This fiddle will show how a "normal" select gets validated while a select2 is NOT , http://jsfiddle.net/VLHN8/7/

This link, https://github.com/ivaynberg/select2/pull/374, claims that there is a special fix to select2 for the validationEngine plugin, however, it doesn't work for me. Anyone have any idea where I'm going wrong?

I'm having the same problem, the Select2 not work with the plugin ValidationEngine. Igor Vaynberg can help us with this?

It seems validationEngine will actually ignore hidden fields unless the 'prettySelect' option is passed along. This code works:

$('#testform').validationEngine({
prettySelect: true,
usePrefix: 's2id_'
});

I solved this by the following, change in select2.js line 341:

if (this.indexOf("select2-") !== 0 && this !== 'validate[required]') {
