[SalesForce] Disable Javascript based Field Validation by Salesforce

i am facing a JavaScript based field validation problems in Salesforce. First let's give you my code snippet.

Visualforce:

<apex:inputField value="{!dealObject.Name}" required="true" />

But when i try to click on any button/link on my VF page it shows me an error message as shown in following image:
enter image description here

For example if if click on my commandButton to do something or even click on simple HTML button to call JavaScript function this message appears. This problem occurrs for every required field, even if i don't explicitly add required attribute. BTW i am on Partner Developer Edition.

My question is how i can disable this functionality or go around it somehow.

NOTE: I am not using any validator plugin.

Try making the apex command buttons(which are giving the required field error) Attribute immediate="true" as follows,

< apex:commandButton immediate="true" name="xyz" action="{!someAction}">

[SalesForce] Month validation in javascript

You need to use the LIVE Jquery Event to bind to the Change event on the Select List. Here is an example I mocked up. I've used Javascript to get the month (0-11, hence increment by 1)

 <apex:page controller="TestValidateController">
    //INCLUDE JQuery Resources

    <script type="text/javascript">

    var d = new Date();
    var n = d.getMonth() + 1;
    jQuery.noConflict();

//Use the Live event to bind to changes on the Select List
    jQuery(".exm").live('change',

    function ()
    {
    alert('changed ' +  jQuery(".exm option:selected").text());
    if(jQuery(".exm option:selected").text() < n)
    alert('Error');

    }
    );
    </script>

    <apex:form>
    <apex:selectlist value="{!ExpirationMonth}" size="1" styleclass="exm" > 
    <apex:selectOptions value="{!ExpireMonth}"/>
    </apex:selectlist>
    </apex:form>
    </apex:page>

Controller :

public with sharing class TestValidateController {
public integer expirationMonth {get;set;}
public SelectOption[] expireMonth {get; set;}

public TestValidateController(){
expireMonth  = new List<SelectOption>{};
for (integer inti : (new List<integer>{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}))
expireMonth.add(new SelectOption(inti+'', inti+''));

}
}

[SalesForce] Smart Capture Form Field validation on ExactTarget using JavaScript

It looks like your Javascript function is just floating in the HTML form. Javascript needs to be inside script tags. And a function like this should be bound to an event.
