Question

Basically, I have a form and a validation function that executes when a form is submitted. However, I want some other codes to run before the validation runs. I tried this: How to order events bound with jQuery, but it does not work.

Here’s what I have:

  $('form').submit(function(){
    $('form').trigger('before-submit');

    if($(this).find('error').exists(event))
      event.preventDefault();
  });


  $('form').bind('before-submit', function(e) {
    if($('#url').val=='http://')
      $('#url').val('');
      alert('test');
  });

You could do:

$(function() {
     $('#formLogin').submit( function() {
         alert("Something"); //do something else here
         return true;
     });
});
