How to specify an element during validation?

Question

JavaScript

I use the jqueryvalidation.org plugin and
do it like this:

$("#add_form").validate({
    rules:{
      title:{
        required: true,
        minlength: 5,
        maxlength: 80
      }
    },
    messages:{
      title:{
          required: "Это поле обязательно для заполнения",
          minlength: "Минимум {0} символов",
          maxlength: "Максимум {0} символов",
      },
    },
  });

But when validating a form, I need to refer to the element inside the form not by the name attribute (as is done with the title), but by the class. In other words, how to use normal jquery selectors during form validation?

Answer 1

If only so:

$( ".myinput" ).rules( "add", {
  required: true,
  minlength: 5 // ну и тд все ваши правила
});
