I've got a form that can optionally be pre-populated via facebook connect. Once a user connects, their name and email are automatically filled in. The problem is that this doesn't trigger the remote validation to check if the email already exists.
Is there a way I could call the validation on that field alone? Something like:
$('#email-field-only').validate()
would be idea. Searched through the docs with no luck.
This method seems to do what you want:
$('#email-field-only').valid();
