I have a form for both creation and editing some fields.I am using Ajax validation for that before submitting the form like
<?php $form=$this->beginWidget('CActiveForm', array(
'id'=>'candidates-profiles-form',
'enableAjaxValidation'=>true,
'enableClientValidation'=>true,
'clientOptions'=>array(
'validateOnSubmit'=>true,
'validateOnChange'=>false,
'beforeValidate'=>"js:function(form) {
if((form.data('submitObject')[0].id ) == 'cancel'){
alert('cancalclicked');
this.validateOnSubmit = false;
this.validateOnChange = false;
this.beforeValidate = ''; // the problem is caused by this line
form.submit();
return false;
}
else{
alert('submitclicked');
return true;
}
}",
'afterValidate'=>"js:function(form, data, hasError) {
if(hasError) {
alert('We have detected some input errors and has not saved your data. Please click Ok to correct them.');
return false;
}
else {
if(confirm('We have validated your input and we are ready to save your data. Please click Ok to save or Cancel to return to input.'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
}",)
)); ?>
After creation it is perfectly coming in afterValidate function and works fine.But after editing it is not all coming in afterValidate. But it is coming in beforeValidate and submitting the form with out reaching afterValidate .
Make sure you have $this->performAjaxValidation($model); in your controller for that action.
