Re: Automatic JavaScript Validation for select box

Hey kaushik,
I wrote the validation helper that you're using (at least I'm guessing
it's the same one).

I don't think "allowEmpty" is a rule. If you look at the Cookbook
(http://book.cakephp.org/view/134/Built-in-Validation-Rules) it's not
listed (although it may just not be updated). I think "allowEmpty" is
a key on the same level as "rule" (http://book.cakephp.org/view/127/
One-Rule-Per-Field). The rule you want looks to be "notEmpty"
although there is a warning that that doesn't work on multiples...

Having said all that I'm pretty sure the helper doesn't handle
checkboxes correctly. jQuery's .val() returns the value of the
checkbox, not whether it's checked or not. The helper needs to be
updated to check the input type and handle appropriately. I'll try to
take a look at this the next few days. Keep an eye on the GitHub repo
(http://github.com/mcurry/cakephp/tree/master/helpers/validation).
Patches are always welcome as well :)
