Hi folks,
Short version: is there code I can put in invalidHandler that will
allow the submit to proceed, even if there are validation errors in
the form? (note that form.submit() does not seem to be the answer)
Long version: I have a situation where my client wants all the visual
validation cues, but still wants the user to be able to submit an
"invalid" form so that it can be saved to the database to be resumed
later. I'm struggling with this using the validation plugin, as it
doesn't want to allow the submit to happen if there are any validation
errors. Is there a way to force it to proceed? I thought this bit
from the "too much recursion" section of the help would do it:
$("#myform").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
form.submit();
}
});
I figured if form.submit() could be called from submitHandler, then it
could also be called from invalidHandler, but it doesn't appear so. I
get a Firebug error telling me form.submit() doesn't exist. Now, as
it happens, the submit rams through anyway, which I could live with,
but having this code here causes other problems, like when I call
validator.form() I get the same undefined error, and it prevents all
subsequent validations from happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jim
