jQuery UI Dialog validation without using <form> tags

Question

http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/ looks to be the best jquery validation plugin out there. I can\'t seem to get it working in the jQuery UI dial

Answer 1

In case someone else comes across this, the jQuery-UI dialog does not append to the form, it appends just before , so the elements to validate are outside the

section:

To resolve this, just direct the dialog to move itself inside the form when you create it, like this:

$("#mydiv").dialog("open").parent().appendTo(jQuery("form:first"));
