JQuery :: Validation Plugin - Validate After The User Clicked Submit?
Jun 19, 2010
I have recently downloaded the jQuery Validation Plugin, and I want to use the bottom part of the demo [url] (Validating a Complete Form) and I have some questions to ask:
1. I want the validation to work after the user clicked "Submit"
2. If a column is wrong (username already taken or password length invalid) I want not only error message but also a picture in front of the error message.
3. I hope that after the user clicks "Submit" and then found a column is wrong then correct it, after the user corrected it and click to other place or other column the validator starts again to check the column the user just edited whether the user just corrected a wrong column or edited a correct column into error.
4. I hope to display a image in right of the column if that column is correct after the validator works.
About the jquery Validation plugin. I need to lock the submit button on some forms to prevent multiple submissions, but I don't want to permanently lock it, in case there's a validation problem that the user needs to resolve. I did come up with a way to temporarily lock it and change the text to "Saving, Please Wait..." for a few seconds, then revert it to an unlocked submit button.
The problem I'm having is that this conflicts somehow with the jquery validation plugin. Some fields that have error messages if the user attempts to submit the form with missing data. If I use the temporary locking submit button (which uses an animation to create a duration) then these error messages do not display.
Is it possible to test for a validation value in a separate function before running this lock function? If valid, lock, if not valid, don't lock, because it isn't possible to submit an invalid form anyway. I tried wrapping the locking submit function in a setTimeout, but that didn't have any effect at all in delaying it.
I have a form (form1) to register with the fields: user, email, password being validated normally.
Have a second form (Form2) to the user update the data registered in form1, and the fields user, email, password is already populated with data from the database, the email field I use the remote validation, and as the field already has been completed and read always says that this email already exists, how do I create a rule or method so that when the field is already filled it not do so validating and validate if it is filled with a new email. Email2 have a hidden field in order to do a test type.
I must be missing something, is there not an easy way to validate inline?
For example, I have a required text input that is given focus on page load, I would like for it to throw an error if the user moves to the next field w/o entering any data.
I have a form with two buttons: "Delete" and "View". A checkbox is required for all actions. Validation happens when a button is clicked. If it's "View", it is just a normal operation.
However, if it's "Delete", if the form is valid, it then needs to show a confirmation before form submission via custom handler (submitHandler). submitHandler: function(form) { if (confirmDelete()) { form.submit (); } }
Problem: How do I know if the button is Edit or Delete inside submitHandler? The function above open the dialog even for "View" button.
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?
The jquery.validate.pack.js file found on [url] causes an error when run in IE6. I re-ran the packing process with the perl port of Dean Edwards' Packer found here [url] and the problem no longer persists.
Here is the command I ran on cygwin:
These are the safest settings I've found with jsPacker.pl. The packed file lost 2kb (.1kb gzipped) of savings, but it works now!
I am using the "Validation" plugin to validate my form. This is a multipart form where a user can upload a file. I would like to validate the choosen file name such that it contains only alphanumeric characters plus defined extensions. For that I tried the combination of the rules "accept" and "alphanumeric" but this does not work because the file name is the full path of the file name and it contains non alphanumeric characters as: C:umyDirectorymyFile.txt
regular expression which could tests that myFile is made only of alphanumeric characters ?
Using : jQuery Validate (jQuery Validation Plugin 1.8.0)
Browser : IE 8
Code :
Problem: The live('submit).. code fires before the validation does. So, validation never actually stops the form submitting. In other browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari), this is not a problem, validation always fires first.
I am using the validate plugin to perform validations on a form.I would like to show a confirm message ( alert with ok and cancel ) upon submit and successful vaildation.I have tried the following but it does not work:[code]The form submits even If I click "Cancel". Is there anythingwrong with my code above?
I have a form with multiple submit buttons. <form action="" id="myForm" method="post"> <fieldset> <!-- various input fields --> <button type="submit" name="Exit">Exit</button> <button type="submit" name="SaveExit">Save & Exit</button> <button type="submit" name="Save">Save</button> </fieldset> </form> When the SaveExit or Save buttons are clicked, the form is to be validated. When the Exit button is clicked, the form is NOT to be validated. How can I do this with the Validate Plugin 1.7 from [URL]. Is this possible?
I would like to disable the submit button until all fields have been success. I have been looking for examples of call backs but could find anything I could use.
In a registration form middleName field is optional. When the users enters his/her middleName, then it should validate that field. I have used the following code to achieve the above scenario, but it is not working.
$("#middleName").rules("add", {checkName: true, required: false, messages: {checkName: "Please enter a valid middle name"} }); jQuery.validator.addMethod("checkName", function(value, element) { var regExp = new RegExp(/^[a-zA-Z0-9s|,|.|-|']+$/); return regExp.test(value); }, "Please enter a valid name." ); How to achieve the above scenario.
I have some page with lot of forms (20 per page), this forms are always the same, because is for reply comments directly in these page. (like wordpress comment manage page).
The forms id are: commentresponder-XXXX (XXXX = comment id).
I'm getting lot of problem handled individually each form.
I don't use submit button, i have a link which do submit function.
Into <form..></form> the link look like: <a id="fbotonsendcom-XXXX" class="boton" href="#">responder</a> XXXX, another time is the comment id. Now these click functionallity:
[Code]....
When i use alert() to see the id of the form it give me undefined for: var idElement = $(this).attr("id"); I used the var with parent() too, up 5 parents without results, always say "undefined".
Cant i pass the id from click function to the validation submitHandler plugin ? something like... $('#commentresponder-' + idComment).submit('id=' idComment);
I need help with the Validation plugin. I have a form with a required field. When the form is valid I want the form to submit and I also want to disable the submit button. I have a function that does the disabling, but I'm not sure how to call this function within the "validate" method. Here is my simple call the the validate method.
I seem to be having trouble getting the submithandler form attribute working. The link is here: [URL]. For some reason it submits and does not show the alert I have inside the function of the submithandler attribute.
I am trying to make form in dreamweaver with several text boxes. If the person doesn't fill out one or more of the boxes, I want an error message to come up which lists which boxes weren't filled out. If they ARE filled correctly, I want the page to redirect to a thanks page.This isn't online, and I'm new to coding. But its going ok, I just can't get the form to validate AND redirect if return true (or something???). I don't know how to do that. I've tried googling it, searching youtube tutes, and reading a few javascript books, but no joy.[code]
I've got weird behavior on the contact form at this address: http:[url]...The initial validation works (i.e. leave all fields blank and click submit). If you then enter anything valid into any one of the required fields and click submit again, the jQuery validation doesn't seem to occur again (or, if it does, it passes everything even though other required fields are not valid) and it passes everything to the PHP file for processing.Here is the code for the form:
I'm working under certain constraints wherein,at a certain point outside my direct control,validate is called with no arguments, but after that I want to set a custom validation function on a form field. I figure there's got to be a way to manipulate validate's internal data structure to add the function, but I don't have a clue as to how.
