I have nearly 5 forms inside my webpage whose elements are validated using jquery.validate.js. And I have ‘save’ button(not submit) at the end which on clicking saves all detail. I need to validate all the forms when I click on ‘save’ and if any validation fails I need to stop that click event.Is there a way to do it?
for example :
<html>
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#form1').validate();
$('#form2').validate();
$('#form3').validate();
});
</script>
<form id='form1'>..elements to be validated..</form>
<form id='form2'>..elements to be validated..</form>
<form id='form3'>..elements to be validated..</form>
<form id='form4'>..elements to be validated..</form>...
<input type='button' name='save_btn' id='save_btn' value='save'>
</html>
Also I tried
$("#save_btn").click(function(){
$("form1").validate();
});
It displays error message but still click function is carried out.If anybody can suggest me some solution it will be more helpful form me.
Thank you.
you could use the function valid() that is available to check whether a form or a particular element is valid
so you could do something like this for your button click event
