Html Form Multiple Selectbox using SumoSelect, mark required fields

Question

I am using SumoSelect, a jquery Dropdown, for <select> fields in my html form. How can I mark them as required when submitting the form? Native <select> fields get a notice by chrome, Firefox, etc. can I replicate that behavior?

Answer 1

This is possible by using jquery validation plugin:

$(SumoselectFieldSelector).rules("add",{
    required:true,
    messages:{
        required:"Field is required"
        }
})
