[jQuery] using jsVal for validation
In an $.ajax option beforsend, I want to call a function to validate
a form using jsVal script
(jsVal is here: http://jsval.fantastic-bits.de/ The home page shows
examples)
I tried the following:
...
$.ajax({
beforeSend: showRequest,
...
function showRequest(){//alert('showRequest');
var objForm = document.forms["contactForm"];
validateStandard(objForm, 'error');
}
The alert will show but, validateStandard() is not processed.
jquery ignores this and proceeds ahead with submittal, which is
successful.
How can I correctly use a third party script like jsval to validate
the form before it is submitted by jquery ajax ?
