Question

I want to validate my form on button click.

For that I used ("#trade").validate();.

But My problem is that when user click on my button so it’s call one more function which post my data.

<input type="button" class="button" value="Save" onClick="create_trade();">

I used

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#trade").validate();
    });
</script>

Now how will I validate this form.

Answer 1

After form validation, you call the function create_trade(), in the submitHandler event.

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
        $("#trade").validate({
               submitHandler: function(form) {
                create_trade();
           }
         });
    });
</script>
