How to "DISABLE" the validator after bound to a field?

[bo li, modificado hace 11 años.]

A question about AUI form and AUI validator. Q: How to "DISABLE" the validator after bound to a field?
Context:
When the form loads, there is a selection box of option1 option2, option3, and hidden fields field1, field2, field3.
1.Select "option1", input field "field1" will show up, and bound with A.FormValidator( required:true).
2.Select "option2", input field "field1" will be hidden, "field2" will show up.
At this point, I set the validator for "field1" required:false. But it is still required.

I think the form can't be sent to the server to change required:false. Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advance!

Hi!

Here some kind of working solution of that problem, but i'm sure that there should be something more elegant:

<form id="someForm">
	<input type="text" name="someField" id="someField2">
	<button type="submit" value="submit"></button>
	<button type="button" onclick="cancelValidation('someField2');" value="no-validation"></button>
</form>

<aui:script>
function cancelValidation(fieldId) {
	AUI().ready('aui-form-validator',
		function (A) {
		var v = A.one("#someForm").validatorObject;
		v.on("validateField", function (event) {
			for (var k in event.details) {
				var name = event.details[k].validator.field;
				if (name.lastIndexOf("#" + fieldId) != -1) {
					event.halt();
					break;
				}
			}
		});
	});
}

AUI().ready('aui-form-validator',
	function (A) {
	var v = new A.FormValidator({
			boundingBox : '#someForm',
			rules : {
				someField : {
					required : true
				}
			}
		});
	A.one("#someForm").validatorObject = v;
	
});
</aui:script>

Thank you for your solution, I am using the similar way to do it, event.hault() to prevent the event from happening.

Hi Pavel!
Thank you for your suggestions (it's really helped me!) - only small correction (for anybody who will try to use it for 6.2):

in Liferay 6.2.x it is required to use

var name = event.details[k].validator.field.get('name');

to get name of processed field.
