Turn Off Client Side Validations Per Fieldset

Turn Off Client Side Validations Per Fieldset

You can turn off validations for a given fieldset by passing :validate => false for the nested resource.

<%= form_for @user, :validate => true do |user| %>
  <%= user.label :email %>
  <%= user.text_field :email %>
  <%= user.fields_for :address, :validate => false do |address| %>
    <%= address.label :street %>
    <%= address.text_field :street # won't run validations %>
    <%= address.label :street %>
    <%= address.text_field :city   # won't run validations %>
  <% end %>
  <%= user.submit 'Submit' %>
<% end %>

This can be used by any formbuilder:
