Error on select validation

[wbotelhos]

I tried to make a required select (combobox) and got the following error:

b.attr("type") is undefined
jQuery.ketchup.validation("required","...tween {arg1} and {arg2}.",function(g, ...

Is possible validation of select elements?

i also tried to use the default "required" validation on a select element. This produces the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'toLowerCase' of undefined

which is being generated by this line:

.validation("required","This field is required.",function(g,b,c){g=b.attr("type").toLowerCase();return g=="checkbox"||g=="radio"?b.attr("checked")==true:c.length!=0})

would appear that the required validation will only work on input tags that have an attribute set. textareas and selects will not have an attr and so will be undefined.

$.ketchup.validation('subject', 'You have not selected a subject!', function(form, el, value) {
  return ( value != 0 );
});

where my select has a zero value default that looks like :

    Select a Subject
    Custom
    Support
       Saying Hi

while i'm here i got around a required textarea with another custom validation

$.ketchup.validation('message', 'The message field is too short or empty!', function(form, el, value) {
  return ( $.trim(value).length > 0 );
});

$('#contact-form').ketchup({}, {
  '#subject' : 'subject',
  '#message' : 'message',
});
