Dropdown validation does not work

Question

it's my validation for chosen enabled select:

SellerDropDownList: {
    required: {
        depends: function (element) {
            return $("#SellerDropDownList").val() == "-1";
        }
    }
}

Default value is -1, but it does not work and when I click submit button; It passes validation while chosen selected value is -1.

JSFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/maysamsh/rLQDK/18/

I tested two things: [Chosen does not matter here](http://jsfiddle.net/rLQDK/19/). And your `depends` function never runs. — kapa, Mar 28 '14 at 10:18
I don't know yet. I will try reading the documentation, never used this plugin. — kapa, Mar 28 '14 at 10:47

Reading the documentation, required does not work the way you are trying to use it.

One option I found to work is min:

    SellerDropDownList: {
        min: 0
    },

Demo

Another possible way is to define your own rule ("not equal") described under this question.

It only works when the plugin is not applied. http://jsfiddle.net/maysamsh/rLQDK/25/ does not work. – Maysam Mar 28 '14 at 11:06
@Maysam See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11232310/how-can-i-use-jquery-validation-with-the-chosen-plugin – kapa Mar 28 '14 at 11:08
I have multiple chosens; "not equal" does not work too. – Maysam Mar 28 '14 at 11:36
@Maysam See the second answer, that will enable hidden selects to be validated: http://jsfiddle.net/rLQDK/31/ – kapa Mar 28 '14 at 11:41
