2473,[validate],gregers,,"I'm having the same problem as Steven N. Severinghaus described on the plugin homepage (http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/) 25. Mai 2007 16:10.

When having multiple rules for an element, it will not test the rules after required if required=false. Not specifying required, or moving required to be the last rule will prevent the bug.

rules: {
	username: {
		required: false,
		minlength: 3 /* ignored!!! */
	},
	nickname: {
		minlength: 3 /* OK */
		required:false,
	},
	firstname: {
		minlength: 3 /* OK */
	}
}

I have a patch, but it should be reviewed, as I don't understand everything in the validate core.",bug,closed,minor,,plugin,1.2.1,fixed,validate required optional,,,
