Good Day
I am using the popular https://github.com/jzaefferer/jquery-validation validation plugin for my ASP.NET form.
Now you will see that inside my <fieldset> elements, I have the original code of the plugin, and I am applying the form controls to my asp controls one by one. Now everything seems to work except for password...
I have set the name and type as password for my asp password controls, but the validation does not work there...Notice that the ID is not #password but neither did I copy the original form ID's for the other controls(such as email)...So it can't be the ID can it?
Any suggestions? Note, I do not want to change the ID's on my asp controls...
