How can I use jQuery validation with the “chosen” plugin?

jQuery validate ignores the hidden element, and since the Chosen plugin adds visibility:hidden attribute to the select, try:

$.validator.setDefaults({ ignore: ":hidden:not(select)" }) //for all select

OR

$.validator.setDefaults({ ignore: ":hidden:not(.chosen-select)" }) //for all select having class .chosen-select

Add this line just before validate() function. It works fine for me.
