Question

I’m working with a jQuery plugin (ajax form), I try to implement something like this:

$("#MyFormID").ajaxForm({
    dataType: "json",
    resetForm: true,
    beforeSubmit: function() {
       //validateData returns boolean
       if (validateData()) {
          // continue submit
       } else {
          //cancel submit
       }
    },
    success: function(json) {
        //show success notification     
    }
});

is there a way to stop the ajax from submiting the form?
on beeforesubmit function maybe?

Answer 1

You can use return false; in beforeSubmit function to prevent form submission.
