Jquery validation multiple tabs, validate one at a time?

Question

I\'m new to jQuery and I\'m trying to use it and the validation plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation) to create a multi-part form with multiple tabs for differe

Answer 1

The existing code didn't work for me (maybe it's dated) so i came up with the following. This example is assuming using jquery tabs and jquery validator.

$('#tabs').tabs(
{
    beforeActivate: function( event, ui )
    {   
        var valid = $("#myForm").valid();
        if (!valid) {
            validator.focusInvalid();
            return false;
        }
        else
            return true;
    }
});
