the question says it all. i’ve an asp.net page using jquery. at first when i clicked the submit button, it’d show the object expected error. i ran the firebug and it displayed the error of ‘return validate()’ function which was added onClientClick of the button.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
// add custom validation methods
$.validator.addMethod('phone', function(value, el, params) {
return this.optional(el) || /^[0-9,+,(), ,]{1,}(,[0-9]+){0,}$/.test(value);
}, 'Please enter a valid phone number');
$.validator.addMethod('numbers', function(value, el, params) {
return this.optional(el) || /^[0-9]+$/.test(value);
}, 'Invalid entry. Only Numeric is allowed.');
$.validator.addMethod('domainurl', function(value, el, params) {
return this.optional(el) || /^(http\:\/\/(?:www\.)?[a-zA-Z0-9]+(?:(?:\-|_)[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*(?:\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+(?:(?:\-|_)[a-zA-Z0-9]+)*)*\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4}(?:\/)?)$/.test(value);
}, 'Please enter a valid domain url');
$.validator.addMethod('selectone', function(value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || (value.indexOf("none") == -1);
}, 'Please select an option.');
$("#form1").validate({
debug: true,

});
});
</script>
i removed it, and now the submit button is still not working. the server-side code is not executing. it isn’t showing any error. i can’t figure out what is the problem.
i’ve posted the code here: object expected – jquery
EDIT: After seeing the code. The reason why the form is not submitting even after you remove the call to Validate() in your button is because you have debug:true, this prevents the form submission. Change it to debug: false and it will submit.
