[validate] onkeyup for single field

[simshaun]

This question is in regards to the jQuery validation library
http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/

Is it possible to turn off onkeyup for a singe field instead of the
entire form?
It'd be cool if I could just put onkeyup=false within the rules array
for that field.

Good question, and I don't yet have a good solution at hand.

One approach I'd try is to add your own keyup-handler to the input
field, as always cancel the event (return false). That way the event
doesn't get bubbled up to the parent form.

I tried adding onkeyup="return false;" to the field.  Doesn't seem to
work though.

The solution I came up with is to add this in the config array.

onkeyup: function(element) {
    if ($(element).attr('name') != 'username') {
        $.validator.defaults.onkeyup.apply(this,arguments);
    }
}

It'd be much easier to have onkeyup: false in the rules array :) lol

Hello,

I was able to disable the validation for the keyup event of one single filed by adding a custom function which returns false for the keyup event of the input field:

$("#email").keyup(function() {
    return false;
 });
