Ok, I think I figured it out. I may have had it close to right before,
but was just missing a } or something.
Here is an example:
function confirmStep(step_num,goto_step,button_msg){
var error_msg = validateForm(step_num);
var opt = {
// Send the data
parameters: $(step_num).serialize(),
// Use asynchronous
asynchronous: true,
// Handle successful response
onSuccess: function(t) {
error_msg = validateForm(step_num);
var validate = t.responseText;
if(validate.indexOf(' ') != -1){
var error_msg = validate;
}
//alert(validate);
if(error_msg == ""){
new Ajax.Request('crossjax.php?'+step_num,
{parameters: $
(step_num).serialize(), onSuccess: function(){ goTo(goto_step); },
asynchronous: true});
} else {
errorStuff(button_msg,error_msg);
}
},
// Handle other errors
onFailure: function(t) {
alert('Error: ' + t.status + ' -- ' + t.statusText);
}
}
if(error_msg == ""){
prepareStuff('Validating your information...');
//var poststr = saveString('step1');
new Ajax.Request('crossjax.php?' + step_num + '&validate', opt);
} else {
errorStuff(button_msg,error_msg);
}
return false;
}
