1. onsubmit="return validateForm(this)" 

and works as expected.

I want to be able to use this form in some instances without this validation so I want to take this event out and add it if a certain field has been set before the page was loaded. I'm new to jQuery and thought I'd understood how I could do this but I'm not getting this to work.

First of all I added a class of 'mainform' to this form and then used the following to set the event:

2. $(document).ready(function() {
3. $('.mainform').onsubmit = function (event) {
4. return validateForm(this);
5. };
6. })

I've tried putting line 4 in quotes but it still doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Eric.
