Is there a function in jquery.validate that will reset a single field like resetForm does for a form?

You can do the following to validate a single field:

$('#your_field').valid();

Maybe it will help someone :-)

Thanks!

Can't find anything built in to the validation library but this hack works:

$('#email').removeClass('error').next('label.error').remove();

this resets the entire form

var validator = $("#myform").validate();
validator.resetForm();

this will reset only the name element

$("#skip").click(function() {
   var rules = $("#name").removeAttrs("min max"); // remove min and max
   $("#form").submit(); // submit, as there are no attributes, it will not have an error
   $("#name").attr(rules); // add it again so you can validate it
});
