Combobox Validation with jQuery

How do I validate a combobox in jquery so we don't send the "Select Product" on Submit?  cmbProduct is the combobox that I'm trying to validate.

The txtName field is for another type of validation that it's working.  I just need the combobox.

$(document).ready(function() {

 
    // Validate the form with jquery validate plug in
    $("#form1").validate({

        rules: {
            txtName: {
                required: true,
                maxlength: 5,
                number: true
            },
            cmbProduct:                     // <--- Combobox Validation

              required: true
            }                                 
        },        
        messages: {
            txtName: "Invalid Name",
            cmbProduct: "Select Product"      
        }

    });

    
    // Name
    $("#txtName").focus(function() {
        $("#txtName").css("background-color", "lightyellow");
        $("#txtName").autotab_filter('alphanumeric');
        $("#txtName").autotab({ target: 'txtCellPhone' });
    });
    
    $("#txtName").blur(function() {
        $("#txtName").css("background-color", "white");
        $("#txtName").autotab_filter('alphanumeric');
    });  
    

    // Position the cursor    
    $(function() {
        $("#txtName").focus();      
    });

           

jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
	debug: true,
	success: "valid"
});;


});

Re: Combobox Validation with jQuery

Hello

The validation process can happen when you submit the data, namely when you press the button. In the click event, perform a test to see if the text field is valid to the rules. http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/valid
