I have a validation where I need to force use to click on the Sign button (just a regular button) before submit the form. I'm doing this validation in 1.8.1 using hidden input and setting the value when he/she clicks on the button. So my rule looks like this:
isSigned: {required: function () { return ($('#isSigned').val() != "Signed") } }

I'm now using the latest validation plusing 1.9 and found that this validation is not working...

Can you please look into this?

or is there any other way to do the validation against hidden input types?

Thanks,
Mahesh
