I'm having a problem with validating first then submitting a form with jQuery after success. It works however it seems like my submit() function keeps sending multiple submits and keeps growing each time i reuse the form (i made sure the values are reset after each submit). I'm not sure if its my code since i've re-checked it for hours to no avail. Here is the code in a nut-shell:
My form with id of #form-external-link is validated when submit button is clicked: $("#form-external-link").validate({ rules: { exlink_url: { required: true, url: true } }, submitHandler: function(form) { alert('This will pop up only once as it should'); $(form).submit(function() { alert('This will pop up every twice, 3x, 4x, etc. after each validate success'); }); } }); Am I missing something from my code??
