Jquery validation on div content

Question

I am extending the functionality of a Business Intelligence tool. This is a web based application. Currently attempting to create some type of "form" validation. The strange thing is that this application reuses the same input for every single one of the form inputs. Once the user clicks away from the input html object, some javascript moves the value entered into the input into the text within a div.

Before:

<div>
</div>

Input filled out:

<input type="text" value="this is a test">

Result:

<div>
this is a test>
</div>

Is there any way to create a listener which will validate what is written inside of the div?

Answer 1

try this

<input type="text" value="this is a test"/>

instead of

<input type=text value=this is a test></input>

hope this helps...
