Is it possible to combine classic ASP with Jquery Validate ?
The way my page WAS working, before I spent several days using Jquery validate, is that the ASP function would trigger/process data based on a hidden variable that was changed upon successful submission (of a form on the same page).
Now, however, since the page isnt being refreshed, the ASP function doesn’t read this variable. I tried messing with the submithandler/post function, but to no avail.
My main question is: *Is it possible to trigger ASP functions within jquery/jquery validator, and if so, how! *
Thank you very much for any help.
Of course you can. In fact, there is a prehistoric feature called MSRS, the elder grandfather of ajax queries. The client side was run by a java applet, while the server side were a include file that received the calls via querystring. There are still some articles about this matter, a Wiki entry, and so on.
The point is, you can easily replace the client side with a little jQuery script and use the server side functionality.
Download here the RS.asp as the include file
