Hi there,
And welcome to the forums.
I’m unaware of an “exclude” method, but it would be quite easy to code this up by hand.
This is what I would do:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Custom validation rule
$.validator.addMethod("checkDomain", function(value, element) {
var evilDomains = ["yahoo", "gmail", "aol", "hotmail"];
var domainEntered = value.replace(/.*@(.*)\\..*/, "$1");
var isAcceptableDomain = true;
if($.inArray(domainEntered, evilDomains) >= 0){
isAcceptableDomain = false;
}
return this.optional(element) || (isAcceptableDomain);
}, "Please use a sensible mail address");
$("#webform").validate({
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
error.appendTo( element.parents("div.field:first").find("div.clear:first") );
},
onfocusout: false,
onkeyup: false,
onclick: false,
debug: false,
rules: {
email : { checkDomain: true }
} // rules
}); // validate
}); // function
Hopefully the code is quite straight forward, but if you have any questions, just let me know.
