Question

I am using Jquery Validation Engine for validating scripts on my site. However, on submit the error message disappears. I have used the following script

$(document).ready(function(){

  var use_ajax=true;
  var use_ajax2=true;
  $.validationEngine.settings={};

  $("#contact-form").validationEngine({ promptPosition : "bottomLeft",
         success :  function(){use_ajax=true},
          failure : function(){use_ajax=false;}
         });


  $("#contact-form").submit(function(e){
          if(use_ajax)
          {
              $('#loading').css('visibility','visible');
              $.post('mysubmitpage.php',$(this).serialize()+'&ajax=1',                    
                  function(data){
                      $("#contact-form").hide('slow').after('<h1>Thank you!</h1>');

                      $('#loading').css('visibility','hidden');
                  }

              );
          }
          e.preventDefault();
  }) });

Where am I going wrong? I want the error message to stay. How can I troubleshoot as I am fairly new to JQuery.

Answer 1

use

onValidationComplete: function(form, status){
if(status){
 your_function();
 }
}

function your_function(){
 //show message
     form.submit()
}
