Hello,
I have one more question about this,
I want to know if could override the default remote function creating
another function that calls a $.ajax with method POST and has effects
fadeIn() and fadeOut() when validating a INPUT.
For example:
remote: function(value, element,
param) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/sys/check-
email.php",
dataType: "json",
data: "email=" + $
("#EMAIL").val(),
beforeSend: function()
{
$("#load-
email").fadeIn();
},
success:
function(result) {
$("#load-
email").fadeOut();
return result;
}
);
But this function is not working how I expect. The effects works
properly but I can still submit the form if the e-mail is not valid.
Any suggestions is welcome.
Thanks,
Lino

Custom remote methods are currently not supported. You'd need to
replicate the current implementation and change the necessary details
- not recommended.
There are various options for customizing message display, but using
animations isn't supported either. You could give the
highlight/unhighlight and showErrors options a try. In any case you'd
have to familarize yourself with the validation plugin a lot, its way
beyond what I can help with on this list.

Hi Jörn,
It worked fine ... just a suggestion:
What about the custom method to return the error message?
This way a value could be checked in many ways and displaying a more
accurate message for each error.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Miguel

Yes, thats possible. Something like this works:
$.validator.addMethod("custom", function(value, element) {
    if (invalid(value) {
        this.settings.messages[element.name] = "my custom message";
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}, "default message");
That works best when you have only that custom method as a rule.
Mixing it with other methods gets a bit more complicated, you have to
assign the custom message to messages[element.name].custom, and check
first messages[element.name] is defined.

My input id is Name and the remote method is Check so the request is
Check?Name=Something
Can I change the Name to, for example, TagName in the request, without
needing to change the id of the input?
Thanks,
Miguel

Nope, that isn't supported, yet. Though you could set up a global
beforeSend event handler that replaces the offending id with something
else.
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/ajaxSend#callback
$().ajaxSend(function (event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions) {
ajaxOptions.data = ajaxOptions.data.replace("name", "otherName");
}
