Question

I have this:

$("#contact-frm-2").bind("jqv.form.result", function(event , errorFound){
    if(!errorFound){
        alert('go!');
        event.preventDefault();
        return false;                               
    }
});

It supposed to validate the form for errors and when there is no error on the form, alert "Go!" without submitting.
I am using the jquery.ValidationEngine.js you can find at http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/

I am sure

event.preventDefault();
            return false;

is supposed to prevent the form from submitting but it is still submitting. Can someone tell me what I am missing?

Answer 1

The “onsubmit” JavaScript event will handle this for you.

jQuery:

$('#formid').submit(function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});

Pure JS:

document.getElementById('formid').addEventListener('submit', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
});
