title: Enabling validation for only a few specific hidden fields
body: <p>As a corollary to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8466643/jquery-validate-enable-validation-for-hidden-fields">this question</a>, how would I configure jQuery Validate to validate <em>some</em> hidden fields in a form, but not all of them?</p>
  
  <p>jQuery Validate <a href="http://bassistance.de/2011/10/07/release-validation-plugin-1-9-0/" rel="noreferrer">ignores hidden fields by default</a>, which is sort of an issue in ASP.NET projects.  For instance, a page might have a form with both checkbox helpers (which generate hidden <code>inputs</code>), as well as custom dropdowns which may utilize many hidden inputs.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() {
      $('#myform').validate({
          ignore: [],
          // any other options and/or rules
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using the config object like so, is there any way that I can set this up to allow me to pick and choose which specific hidden inputs to validate, <em>without</em> having to specify every individual input the plugin has to ignore?</p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, is there a validation event hook that I could leverage in this scenario?</p>
