Question

I am trying to unbind or reenable the prevent default so my form will submit on good data.

I have tried multiple examples. Here is my code and some of the examples i tried.

This code works great for what i want to. Just the last thing and resetting the div which i can implement after i get this.

function lengthRestriction(elem, min, max) {
    var uInput = elem.value;
    if (uInput.length >= min && uInput.length <= max) {
        return true;
    } else {
        var cnt = document.getElementById('field');
        cnt.innerHTML = "Please enter between " + min + " and " + max + " characters";
        elem.focus();
        $('#ShoutTweet').submit(function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();

            //bind('#ShoutTweet').submit();
            //$('#ShoutTweet').trigger('submit'); 
        });
    }
}​

i have a jsbin set up too http://jsbin.com/ebedab/93

I’m not completely sure what you are asking, but if your goal is to destroy your custom submit handler, then use this:

$("#ShoutTweet").unbind("submit");

This assumes that you have a normal (not Ajax) form.
