I really need to have custom or even magento validation for my input field.
Problem is, there is no form in my field, there is only input field.
<input id="item_custom_payment_" name="pay_part_payment" value="" style="" class="input-text item-price validate-greater-than-zero">
<button .... >Submit</button> //calling custom controller action
For example: Comment section in order view page in admin area.
This var customForm = new VarienForm('custom_form');
doesn't work because there is no <form>
in my section.
Is there anyway around to validate the input field?
UPDATE
My button looks like this:
<button id="id_5bb6f3992cb320bf703ed93f702dd64a" title="Submit Paid Amount" type="button" class="scalable save paid-amount" onclick="submitAndReloadArea($('order_paid_block_wrap').parentNode, '[admin_url]'); javascript:reload(); return true" style=""><span><span><span>Submit Paid Amount</span></span></span></button>
