Unable to match password using equalTo property

I want to validate my form using validate.js and match the password. I wrote the following code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#signup-form").validate({
rules: {
"signup-username": {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
"signup-firstname": {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
"signup-lastname": {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
"signup-email": {
required: true
},
"signup-password1": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
"signup-password2": {
equalTo: "#signup-password1"
}
},
messages: {
"signup-username": {
required: "Please, enter a user name",
minlength: "Minimum userlength should be 2"
},
"signup-firstname": {
required: "Please, enter your first name",
minlength: "Minimum firstname length should be 2"
},
"signup-lastname": {
required: "Please, enter your last name",
minlength: "Minimum lastname length should be 2"
},
"signup-email": {
required: "Please, enter a valid email"
},
"signup-password1": {
required: "Please, enter your password",
minlength: "Minimum password length should be 5"
},
"signup-password1":"Password doesn't match."
}
submitHandler: function (form)
{
alert("form is submitted successfully.");
}
});
});
I am new to js. Why is it not working. Sometimes I wonder where to put comma and where not. Please help me.

Try change:
"signup-password2": {
equalTo: "#signup-password2"
}
...
"signup-password1":"Password doesn't match."
to:
"signup-password2": {
required: true,
equalTo: "#signup-password1"
}
...
"signup-password2": {
required: "Please, enter your password again",
equalTo: "Password doesn't match."
}

jsfiddle- validate plugin is broken
another fiddle - works correct

not familiar at all with this library, but I think you mean to check whether signup-password2 is equal to signup-password1. So it should read like:
"signup-password2": {
equalTo: "#signup-password1"
}

jQuery validation not working with that form

I have been trying to validate a form with jquery validate plugin.As a newbie i am facing problem with that.Here is the code
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#log-form").validate({
errorElement: 'div',
rules: {
"username": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
"password": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
}
},
messages: {
username: {
required: "Provide a username,sire",
minlength: "Username with length 5 atleast,is required"
},
password: {
required: "Provide a password,sire",
minlength: "Minimum length of 5 is required for password,sire"
}
}
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
});
<form name="log-form" id="log-form" method="post" action="check_login.php">
<label for="username">Username</label>
<input type="text" class="" id="username" name="username">
<br>
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="" id="password" name="password">
<br>
<button type="submit" name="sub-btn" class="sub-btn">Login</button>>
</form>
The validation is not working as i change field after typing in one neither on submiting the form.

As per #unidentified: There is a syntax error in your code, missing , after the messages property. Please check How can I debug my JavaScript code?
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#log-form").validate({
errorElement: 'div',
rules: {
"username": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
},
"password": {
required: true,
minlength: 5
}
},
messages: {
username: {
required: "Provide a username,sire",
minlength: "Username with length 5 atleast,is required"
},
password: {
required: "Provide a password,sire",
minlength: "Minimum length of 5 is required for password,sire"
}
}, // syntax error, comma was missing here
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
});

jquery validate when field not empty

I validate my form using jquery validate like this:
$("#formuser").validate({
rules: {
accountname: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
T1: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
accountpassword1: {
required: true,
minlength: 8
},
accountpassword2: {
required: true,
minlength: 8,
equalTo: "#accountpassword1"
},
},
});
HTML:
<input id="accountpassword1" class="text-input form-control" type="text" name="accountpassword1" size="24" placeholder="password" >
<input class="text-input form-control" type="text" name="accountpassword2" size="24" placeholder="password" >
this worked for me But. I need to check jquery validate when password1 and password 2 not empty. my mean is if password input is empty jquery validate not validate field else validate field password1 and password2.
how do create this?
NOTE:: i need to only check validate accountpassword1 and accountpassword1 with this method.

You can use the depends option like
function isPasswordPresent() {
return $('#accountpassword1').val().length > 0;
}
$("#formuser").validate({
rules: {
accountname: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
T1: {
required: true,
minlength: 6
},
accountpassword1: {
//required: true is not required
minlength: {
depends: isPasswordPresent,
param: 8
}
},
accountpassword2: {
required: isPasswordPresent,
minlength: {
depends: isPasswordPresent,
param: 8
},
equalTo: {
depends: isPasswordPresent,
param: "#accountpassword1"
}
},
},
});
Demo: Fiddle

I had the same requirement So I used this code
$.validator.addMethod(
"regex",
function(value, element, regexp){
return this.optional(element) || regexp.test(value);
},
"Please check your input.");
$('#registration').validate({
rules: {
first_name: {
required: true , regex: /([-a-zA-Z0-9]|\0)/
},
last_name: {
required: true , regex: /([-a-zA-Z0-9]|\0)/
}
},
errorPlacement: function(){
return false;
},
submitHandler: function (form){
alert('sucess')
return false;
}
});
its working for me. Hope it helps

jquery validation not firing

My form is using jquery validation. However, the validation is not firing. I am sure it is just a tiny mistake somewhere.. anyone?
Here is fiddle link http://jsfiddle.net/2L6xT/
BAsically here is my jquery validation code
$(document).ready(function () {
<!-- validation -->
$('#submitDetails').validate({
// 1. validation rules.
rules: {
firstName: {
required: true,
maxlength: 120
},
lastName:{
required: true,
maxlength: 120
},
custom1: {
required: true,
maxlength: 120
},
state: {
required: true
},
custom9: {
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
}
},
// 2. Validation fail messages
messages: {
custom9: {
required: "You must agree to the terms of conditions in order to participate."
}
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
if (element.attr("name") == "custom9" )
error.appendTo("#error_msg");
else
error.insertAfter(element);
}
});
///execute when submit button is clicked
$("#submit").click(function () {
});
});

In your html, the input element doesnot have name, the validator framework uses name to apply the rules
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="firstName" name="firstName" placeholder="First name" />
so along with id add name also(id is not required if it is not used elsewhere)

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token - Can't find invisible character

Keep getting this error. I've checked for hidden characters, deleted and retyped lines, etc. to no avail. Any ideas where this hidden character might be? I'm using almost identical code in another file which is working perfectly. Thanks!
$('#register-manager').validate({
rules:{
company-company_name: {
required: true
},
user-first_name: {
required: true
},
user-last_name: {
required: true
},
user-email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
user-password1: {
required: true,
min: 8
},
user-password2: {
required: true
}
},
messages: {
company-company_name: {
required: "Please enter your company's name."
},
user-first_name: {
required: "Please enter your first name."
},
user-last_name: {
required: "Please enter your last name."
},
user-email: {
required: "Please enter your email.",
email: "Please enter a valid email."
},
user-password1: {
required: "Please enter your password.",
min: "Please enter at least 8 characters."
},
user-password2: {
required: "Please verify your password."
}
},
submitHandler: function (form) {
form.submit();
}
});

There are no hidden characters (as far as I can tell). The problem is right there in the error message:
Unexpected token -
Identifiers in JS cannot contain - characters, try wrapping them in quotes like this:
$('#register-manager').validate({
rules:{
"company-company_name": {
required: true
},
"user-first_name": {
required: true
},
...
