Hi Guys
Similar to this thread
https://eventespresso.com/topic/ee4-custom-validation/
I am trying to add a custom validation on my reg form targeting a select however it appears to not be working. Lets just say on the form I have question 12 with three options – Please Select, Bananas and Apples. I would like to stop the user from having the value Please Select. Are you able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
(I am not sure if it’s meant to be notEqual or notEqualTo and ‘ vs ” for the value)
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$("#ee-spco-attendee_information-reg-step-form").validate();
$(".ee-reg-qstn-12").rules("add", {
required: true,
notEqual: "Please Select",
});
});
Thanks
Waz

I don’t see a notEqual() method in the jQuery Validator documentation. It’s been suggested elsewhere that a custom one could be added.
Another idea worth pursuing would be to disable the option that you don’t want to be selected (by making the input readonly).
Also, you could make the question type a radio button type and forgo the Please Select option entirely.

Hi Josh
Thanks for the reply. Your disable idea is the way I went. I ended up going (if anyone is interested)
$(“select option:contains(‘Please Select’)”).attr(“disabled”,”disabled”)
which works with EE’s existing validation as well
thanks
