Folks,
I have an MVC3 data entry form scenario that involves asking the user to confirm something after client-side validation has been satisfied, but before the post to the server.
Is there a way to insert some javascript into the sequence of events after the validation framework gives the go-ahead to post back, but before the post back happens?
(And of course if the user declines the confirmation, the post back has to cancel, too. )
Many thanks.
You could subscribe for the .submit event of the corresponding form and check if it is valid:
$(function() {
$('form').submit(function() {
if ($(this).valid()) {
// client validation passed successfully
} else {
alert('there was an error during client validation');
// cancel the submission of the form
return false;
}
});
});
or if you don't want to subscribe for the submission of the form and you want to verify if client validation passes for a given form you could always check like this:
var isValid = $('#someFormId').valid();
