Multiple Select validation with jquery

[Alpha Omega]

Hi,

I have this multiple select:

<select id="sel_dest" name="dest_var[]" multiple disabled="disabled"
size="10">
<option value="" selected>Destinatario</option>
<option value="1"> .........
</select>


how can i validate (required field) this select with jquery validation
plugin?

this code doesn't work:

$("#register_form").validate({
rules: {
dest_var: {
required: true;
}
}
});
}

While I am not too familiar with the peculiarities of the mentioned
library (and I can't imagine why one needs a library for such simple
things), I'm pretty sure that the name of your element is "dest_var[]",
not just "dest_var".

I try dest_var[], but it didn't work. My code has problems on IE8...

Surely the error message you received was not "it didn't work".

What problems? Other than the use of JQuery to perform so trivial a task,
that is.
