JQuery :: Validation: Form With Multiple Submit Buttons Having Different Validation Rules
Oct 2, 2009
I have a form with multiple fieldsets which are visible conditionally. There are three submit buttons "Abandon", "Save" and "Save & Continue". Each button should validate specific controls of the form and submit it. I tried setting "onsubmit: false" and checking for "$('#myForm').valid ()" on click of these buttons., but that validates all controls of the form.
- individually (one submit button next to the field) - globally (a submit button at the end of the form).
Before submitting the form, a validation needs to be performed.... so I added: onSubmit="return isValid()".
If the validation does not pass, the form needs to be shown with the data previously entered by the user.
Now, I haven't even come to the previous problem I have mentioned..... my problem is that if a field is empty, the function isValid() recognize it (message sent) .... but the reDirect function is performed!
I can get the submit button to work and the above button to work.The issue I am having is that I have jquery validation in the form and whenever I hit the SAVE button it wants to validate the form (which I dont want it to as I want it to save at any point in the form). Does anyone know of a quick way to bypass validation code in jquery. Say with using an ajax call and form submit or someway to say if the SAVE button is clicked ignore the validation plugin.
I will like to know if there is anyway to view all the rules that I have currently in the Jquery validation plugin. Currently, I am trying to add in rules dynamically through the rules(add) function after adding some dynamic fields through the user inputs. the rules are added in this manner.
I'm validating a form that has two buttons ("Next" and "Back"). The call to the script is currently in the form's onSubmit() handler. Upon pressing either button, the script runs. This is understandable, since either button press is considered a submit. Is there a way to test which button was pressed to determine whether or not to run the script?
I have built out a fairly rhobust app using jquery and jquery-ui all was going well until we started to bring different screens together inside a tabbed interface. Seems that now when we execute our validation code on one form its checking the fields of all other forms on the page.All of my forms do have unique ID's and all elements within all forms have unique ID's.My understanding of using this.find inside of the submit event was that it should only find the forms elements am I wrong? Method that performs the actual validation:
function validateForm(event){ var allOk = true; $(this).find("*[validation]").each(function(){[code]....
I'm using the Validation plugin for JQuery and was wondering if there was a function to submit the form without causing it to validate the form. I have a table with a list of radio-buttons and above that is a drop down list of states. The drop down list of states is used to filter the table rows and when the selected item changes it posts-back to the server (via $("#frm").submit()). I don't want this to cause any validation to occur. Is there another function I can call besides submit(), or some other method?
I have created a php filter for a form that returns an error message if someone uses profanity in the comments field and makes them redo that field before inserting into a database. Here is the code I use for that (I have omitted the lengthy list of profanity..):
Code: if (isset($_POST['comments'])){ $comments = $_POST['comments']; $filter=array("badword1", "badword2"); for ($i = 0; $i < count($filter); $i++) { ..... if (preg_match("/".$filter[$i]."/i", $comments)) { $profanity_msg="Profanity is not allowed"; }}} //Then this before the form if(isset($profanity_msg)){ echo $profanity_msg; }
However, the rest of my form is validated through JQuery Validator and I would like to make a rule that would do the filtering instead of relying on the php. Here is a sketch of what I think I will need to do to build the custom rule, but I am not sure how to write the equivalent function to my php code above.
Code: $(document).ready(function(){ //custom validation rule - profanity $.validator.addMethod("profanity", "Equivalent of my php function goes here..." ); //validation implementation will go here. $("#TestForm").validate({ rules: { comments: { required: true, profanity: true }}, messages: { comments: { required: "* Required", profanity: "* No Profanity Allowed" }}}); })
I have a problem where if a form submission (set up to submit via AJAX) fails validation, the next time the form is submitted, it doubles the number of post requests - which is definitely not what I want to happen. I'm using the jQuery ValidationEngine plugin to submit forms and bind validation messages to my fields. This is my code below. I think my problem is that I need to unbind from the validationEngine plugin when the form fails, but I can't figure out how to do this.
I need to validate two forms containing multiple input fields but want just one error message if any of the fields are left blank, the page is required to submit the users details (registration form). Also if any of these fields are left blank i don't want to be able to go to the next page on clicking the submit button
I have a form, that uses validation with jquery, it contains 2 submit-buttons: one is 'back' the other is 'forward'
How it should be: By clicking the 'forward'-submit-button, jquery should validate, if clicking the 'back'-submit-button, jquery should ignore validation
But the problem is: jquery validates at each submit
Now my question: How can I get it, that there is no Validation, when I click on 'back'-submit-button, or in other words, that jquery can differentiate on whitch submit-button it should validate?
I'm working on the validation plugin for jquery and trying to figure out how I can target the text boxes that are dynamically generated with this change event. I'm trying to target them so I can set up rules for my page.
I'm using the validation plugin and I have a lot of rules set on my page [code]...
My question, how can I disable all the rules or the entire validation ? I can submit the form via two buttons to either save the page (here I need validation) or "delete" the current view (here I do not want any validation)
Im using the jquery validation plugin: [URL] The forms are generated dynamically using php, with the standard class 'required' the plugin looks for, however when it comes to adding my custom rules i want them to be dynamic, as the name/id attributes are generated based on what the id of the form is: i.e. the form ID is #comp so an input would have a name attribute of comp_forename, comp_surname so basically the validator is initiated by looking in the body for a form: var form_id = $('body form').attr('id'); Then how can icancatante the strings to created the name attributes dynamically in the rules here:
I am trying to use jquery's ajax framework to check if the data that is entered is valid or not. The form works properly except i cannot get the page to go to action="something.php" file in the form part.
[Code]...
I enter a company into the form and hit submit The form will send the data to my validate company.php file. Validate company will return either "good" or "bad" If "bad" the form works as expected. it will stop the function by returning false and alert you that it is already in the database If "good" the page just sits there, basically returned false. however if you click submit again on the html form the function will go through and do what return: true should do.
I've a form. Before submit this forum i have to check if there are uploaded pictures for this form. I check the pictures with ajax. If there are no pictures the must come a alert (see below) otherwise the form must bu submitted with a post (regular submit, no ajax or something). It's working fine but only the formsubmit don't work. Someone who know this 'problem'?
I have the following html, field xxx requires a number from 0 to 100 when percentage is selected, and 0 to inifinity when dollar is selected.what's the best practice to setup validation for this?the key is to control the maximum value.I have tried depends expression in a max rule, but it doesn't seem that it can satisfy my requirement.
I have a form that has 3 submit buttons with 2 input fields. The first input field is a search field that allows the users to search against the database for certain names that are found and not found.[code]...
I am trying to display validation error messages when form validation fails. Currently it does display the error messages but then disappears straight away. How can I stop the page from refreshing when validation fails? I have return false in my code when validation fails but still having same problem. Currently I have only done the validation for the full name only. The error msg is showed in:
Now, if I try to use $('#form').submit(); In the else statement within the success function, the validation keeps getting triggered in an endless loop.
But if I use document.form.submit(); - or document.getElementById('kbaFormSearch').submit(); - The form gets submitted correctly. Is this because the anonymous callback function within the earlier defined $('#form).submit() gets triggered again? And if so, is there a way to get this to work without using "native JS" (not that I'm against it, but it would not make much sense to me unless there is no other way).
This is in regards to Jrn Zaefferer's plug in.How do you customize input validation so that I can remove foullanguage?So that first name or last name doesn't have "fck you" or something
.... PerformCheck fires when any submit button is click, which is logical but I'd like to prevent this if it was the cancel button that was clicked (and preserve form submission on pressing Enter whilst in the 'title' box.
