DevDens: Jquery Validation: Disable/Skip Jquery validation ... : Skipping jquery validation at certain condition

There is time when validation is not needed when certain submit button is clicked. Eg: when there are 'Clear' and 'Submit' buttons. Jquery validation has been initiated for the form which contain both of these submit buttons. However, when 'Clear' is clicked, and it is needed to submit the form for backend processing, jquery validation will assume this submit required checking as how 'Submit' button was. To handle this scenario, it is very easy. To prevent validation to take place when 'Clear' button is clicked, simply add class="cancel" for that submit button and it will skip the validation. Eg: <input class="cancel" name="clear" type="submit" value="Clear"> It is just as simple as this. Happy coding
