jQuery Validate unobtrusive - Enable validation for hidden fields -

i use asp.net mvc 5, jquery validate unobtrusive, jquery validate 1.13 version. have searched answer, although problem have solve，but want know method.

$.validator.setdefaults({ ignore: [] });   //valid  $("#form1").data("validator").settings.ignore = []; //invalid,all input validate invalid  $("#form1").data("validator").settings.debug = true;//valid,if use method,debug ture model open, why? 

if put code in $(document).ready. code useless

how enable validation hidden fields 1 form?

instead of enabling validation hidden fields , better enable validation ones want.

you can assigning class hidden fields want validate , using following code.

// add special-hidden class hidden fields want validate. var validator = $("#formid").validate({ rules: rules }); // line basicially tells validator ignore hidden fields apart ones class special-hidden  validator.settings.ignore = ':hidden:not([class~=special-hidden])'; 

if want enable validation hidden fields , use

 validator.settings.ignore = '';
