I have an MVC app using xVal. I am trying to hook into the jquery validation to show a “loading” graphic once the form is valid. I cannot seem to find a way to only show the qraphic when jquery has validated the form.
However, it also disables the button when the button is clicked and is NOT validated stopping the user from re-submitting the form one the client side errors are corrected.
Does anyone have any experience doing this.
Thanks

Anyway, i think that without preventDefault() your submit will surely be fired.
