Question

All,
I’m trying to use the jQuery Form Validator (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation). However I’d like to be able to click a link to do the validation and then submit the form if everything is ok. Does anyone know how to do this? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Totally possible. The plugin docs even give an example, which I’ve modified a little bit to submit instead of alert:

$("#myform").validate();
$("a.check").click(function() {
  if ($("#myform").valid()) {
    $("#myform").submit();
  }
  return false;
});
