Thanks for your reply.
This is what I have.
function validateName(button) {
txtName.rules('add', {
remote: {
url: 'validate.ashx'
, data: ({id: txtName.attr('name')})
}
}
, messages: {
remote: '* Error'
}
});
var canSubmit = 0;
var ajaxCalled = false;
$().ajaxStart(function() {
ajaxCalled = true;
});
$().ajaxStop(function() {
canSubmit = txtName.valid();
if (canSubmit == 1)
{
// If the remote validation has completed and returns
'true', execute the ASP.NET server-side onClick event of the button
__doPostBack(button.id.replace(/_/g,"$"), '');
}
});
var isNameValid = txtName.valid();
return !ajaxCalled && isNameValid == 1;
}
Essentially the method to returns false anytime the remote validation
is fired. This is so that my Save button (ASP.NET Link button) does
not execute its server-side onClick event prior to the completion of
the jQuery's remote validation.
