Apply jquery validation on bootstrap drop-down menu -


i have following bootstrap drop-down menu:

<div class="form-group">     <label for="name" class="col-md-3 control-label">pens</label>     <div class="col-md-9">         <div class="btn-group btn-input">             <button id="penslist"  type="button"                 class="btn btn-default dropdown-toggle form-control"                 data-toggle="dropdown">                 <span data-bind="label">nothing selected</span>                  <span class="caret"></span>             </button>             <ul id="elements" class="dropdown-menu">               <li id="my_li_id_0"><a href="#">nothing selected</a></li>               <li id="my_li_id_1"><a href="#">ballpoint pens</a></li>               <li id="my_li_id_2"><a href="#">rollerball pens</a></li>               <li id="my_li_id_3"><a href="#">fountain pens</a></li>               <li id="my_li_id_4"><a href="#">custom pens</a></li>             </ul>         </div>     </div> </div>

and script making drop down: 

$(document.body).on('click', '.dropdown-menu li', function(event) {      var $target = $(event.currenttarget);       $target.closest('.btn-group').find(         '[data-bind="label"]').text(              $target.text()).end().children('.dropdown-toggle').dropdown('toggle');          return false; });

how can apply jquery validation on it, raising error on element id my_li_id_0?

the jquery validate plugin can only validate input, textarea, , select elements contained within form container. cannot validate unordered list. ( edit: in newer versions, can validate kinds of elements contenteditable attribute. )

you'll have construct workaround. this...

  1. bind event bootstrap drop-down menu that's fired whenever user makes or changes selection.

  2. whenever event #1 fired, copy desired value list hidden input element.

  3. set plugin's ignore option [] nothing ignored , hidden input elements validated.

  4. set validation rules on name of hidden input element.

  5. use .valid() method within function on #2 above trigger validation test on hidden input element whenever selection changed.

  6. use conditional within plugin's errorplacement callback function put validation message in location more relevant bootstrap pulldown menu. you'll need conditional in order preserve default error placement code other elements.

btw: numerical id...

<li id="1">

...might technically correct in html5, however, id starting number problem in other areas. more info: what valid values id attribute in html?

commonjs - How to write a typescript definition file for a node module that exports a function? -

consider, toml node module can use: // toml.d.ts declare module toml { export function parse(value:string):any; } declare module "toml" { export = toml; } then: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/toml/toml.d.ts"/> import toml = require('toml'); toml.parse(...); however, node module export single function, such 'glob' ( https://github.com/isaacs/node-glob ). the node usage of module be: var glob = require("glob") glob("*.js", {}, callback(err, files) { ... }); you'd naively expect this: // glob.d.ts declare function globs(paths:string, options:any, callback:{(err:any, files:string[]):void; ...but because typescripts 'import' semantics bit strange, seems can use 'import .. = require()' statement alias modules . trying call: /// <reference path="../../../../../defs/glob/glob.d.ts"/> import blog = require('glob'); results in: error ts2072: mod

thorough guide for profiling racket code -

did googling ("racket profiling", "racket measure performance"), didn't find , there no examples in docs. did google "profile" search on htdp - no luck. (profile (f ...)) output isn't obvious other small snippets. ideally want python's python -m cprofile usage examples. when search "python profiling", both duckduckgo , google give top result: 26.4. python profilers . (although scanned quickly, seems more of reference "thorough usage guide" examples. if had else in mind, perhaps please link that?) the equivalent racket documentation be: profile: statistical profiler . a usage example: #lang racket (require profile) (profile-thunk (thunk (function-to-profile arg0 arg1) )) here (thunk e) convenience (lambda () e) . bigger example: #lang racket (module mod racket (provide f) (define (f) (for/list ([i 10000]) i))) (require (prefix-in mod: 'mod)) (define (f) (for ([i 10000
