How define jQuery validate setDefaults

I have a problem with my code. I use jquery validate to validate my form. My question is how to run the setDefaults method? Because when looking at it in the debugger, I get an error like this: TypeError: jQuery.validator is undefined

jQuery.validator.setDefaults({ success : "valid" }); $("#myForm").validate({ rules : { "file1" : { required : true, extension : "slx|mdl", accept : false }, "file2" : { extension : "m", accept : false }, "file3" : { extension : "xlsx|xls", accept : false }, "file4" : { extension : "pdf", accept : false } } });

setDefaults need a variable which must be used to validate in your case validator

just assign validator var to your validate method like this

var validator = $("#myForm").validate({ rules : { "file1" : { required : true, extension : "slx|mdl", accept : false }, "file2" : { extension : "m", accept : false }, "file3" : { extension : "xlsx|xls", accept : false }, "file4" : { extension : "pdf", accept : false } } }); 

should work fine

Check whether you added jquery validate lib correctly:

<script src="jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
