jQuery validate plugin with a minimum of 2 elements from a single array name

Question

I have a list of input type="file" with their names as list[]. Following this question, I was able to make the rules and messages working in my jQuery.
But I do need at least 2 elements of list[] to be filled and adding the rule required: true only works for the irst element of the list, any idea how do I do that?

Cheers,
Nicolas.

Nobody? I'm sure there's a way around as we can we use the '[]' in the name. I've tried 'list[0]' without any results =/ — Nicolas

I think the problem I'm facing is that all the elements have the same name: name="list[]", then the Javascript can't access to the list[number] I want, any idea? — Nicolas

All right I fixed the problem.
I saw there that the key in a name property is optional in HTML, but I thought I could NOT specify the array key in the array name of an HTML form element.

So I just changed some PHP/HTML code -a very few words actually-, just to specify the key of each element created.
Then, I just used 'list[--NUMBER--]': { required: true, accept: "jpe?g|gif|png" }, to make my fields mandatory :)

Hope it will help some people around.

Nicolas.

try using something like:

{ required: true, minlength:2 }

or even without "required" rule
