Validation: Preventing Form Submission

Validation: Preventing Form Submission


I am using the validation plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation). I am thinking of using the submitHandler to prevent form submission unless validation passes.

The form submission is made through an AJAX call. The user may submit the form multiple times. The response populates a grid.

In the case of validation errors, the problem is that the user will click on submit and might think the form has been submitted.

What would be the best way to let the user know the form was not submitted? Is there a way to do this via the plugin?

Thanks in advance for your help.
