Validating the fields in active tab alone

[James Dutt]

I have tabs created in using JQuery and the validation is done for each fields in the tabs
using struts 2. When I click on my submit button, my validation is getting fired for all the fields in all tabs.
I want my validation to be fired only for the fields that are in the active tab aalone. How to do it? or any
sample available that i can refer to? Even if something similar would help me.

Lets assume no JQuery. How do I make sure that my struts validation (defined in validation.xml) is fired only for the fields in active tab and not for the fields in other tab? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or sample?
