jQuery Validation Plugin Dropdown

[CoolAsCarlito]

Basically when I click submit its still saying that there isn’t a selection being made with my dropdowns (styleID, statusID). What am I doing wrong?

$(document).ready(function() {

$('div.message-error').hide();

$('div.message-success').hide();



$("#titlesForm").validate({

rules: {

titleName: {

required: true

},

shortName: {

required: true

},

styleID: {

required: true,

rangelength: [1]

},

statusID: {

required: true,

rangelength: [1]

}

},

messages: {

titleName: "Please enter a name for the title!",

shortName: "Please enter the title's short name!",

styleID: "Please enter the title's style!",

statusID: "Please enter the title's status!"

},

submitHandler: function(form) {

var userID = $("input#userID").val();

var titleName = $("input#titleName").val();

var shortName = $("input#shortName").val();

var styleID = $("select#styleID").val();

var statusID = $("select#statusID").val();

var dataString = 'userID=' + userID + 'titleName=' + titleName + '&shortName=' + shortName + '&styleID=' + styleID + '&statusID=' + statusID + '&submitTitle=True';

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

url: "processes/titles.php",

data: dataString,

success: function(myNewVar) {

if (myNewVar == 'good') {

$('div.message-error').hide();

$("div.message-success").html("
Operation successful
" + titleName + " Page saved successfully.
");

$("div.message-success").show().delay(10000).hide("slow");

$(':input','#titlesForm')

.not(':submit, :hidden')

.val('');

} else if (myNewVar == 'bad1') {

$('div.message-success').hide();

$("div.message-error").html("
Operation unsuccessful
" + titleName + " already exists in the database.
");

$("div.message-error").show();

} else if (myNewVar == 'bad2') {

$('div.message-success').hide();

$("div.message-error").html("
Operation unsuccessful
" + shortName + " already exists in the database.
");

$("div.message-error").show();

} else if (myNewVar == 'bad3') {

$('div.message-success').hide();

$("div.message-error").html("
Operation unsuccessful
" + titleName + " and " + shortName + " already exists in the database.
");

$("div.message-error").show();

}

}

});

return false;

}

});

});
