Question

I am using this form validator (http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/) and am having issues getting it to properly validate both the regular fields and 2 fields I have using AJAX validation.

The 2 ajax fields are used to determine if a username and directory are already in use as we can’t have duplicates in the database.

I want to validate the form, then have it execute an ajax request to submit the information to the database.
I can use $(‘#myform’).validationEngine(‘validate’) to return true or false if the form (without AJAX validation) validates. But I am unsure how to return a true or false for both regular and ajax validation at once as that method only works for non-ajax validation.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Can’t you just check if the fields are empty, and have correct data before sending the ajax request?
