Answer 1

check this:

html:

<form id='form' method='post' >
    <div id='details'>
    </div>
    <a id='Add' href='#'>Add</a>
    <br />
    <input type='submit' />

    $('#form').validate();
    var i = 0;
    $('#Add').click(function() {

        var input = "<input type='text' class='item' name='item"+ i++ +"' />";
        $('#details').append(input+'<br />');
        $('#details input:last').rules('add', {
            required: true
        });

        return false;
    });
});

Answer 2

Its because input field name is same for each, and it has been fixed by @YD1m, my method is as below:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#form').validate();
    var counter = 0;
    $('#Add').click(function() {
        counter++;
        $('#details').append("<input type='text' class='item required' name='item_" + counter + "' />" + '<br />');
    });
});
