[jQuery] two submits in the same form

[Soledad Zubiri]

Hello, here I provide more of my code so we you see exactly what I'm trying
to accomplish...

code:

$(document).ready(function() {
 var validator = $("#form1").bind("invalid-form.validate", function() {

   $("#summary").html("<tr><td aling='right' width='2%' class='ico'><img
src='warning.gif' width='16' height='15' /></td>"+
          "<td width='98%' valign='top' aling='center'
class='err_validation'>"+
          "<t1taglib:PrintMsg msgcode="RECOVERABLE_ERROR_MSG"
/></td></tr>");
  }).validate({
  rules: {
   errorContainer: $("#summary"),
   input1: "required",
   input2: "required",
   input3: "required"
     },
 messages: {
   input1: <t1taglib:ShowErrorHelp titleCode="input1.name"
msgcode="GE_NOT_CHOSEN" />,
   input2: <t1taglib:ShowErrorHelp titleCode="input2.name"
msgcode="GE_NOT_CHOSEN" />,
   input3: <t1taglib:ShowErrorHelp titleCode="input3.name"
msgcode="GE_NOT_CHOSEN" />
   }
   }
  });
  });



 <form id="form1" method="post">
    <input type="text" id="input1" >
    <input type="text" id="input2" >
    <input type="text" id="input3" >

    <input type="submit" value="Submit button" name="Submit" >
    <a id="submit" href="#">Submit link</a>
</form>


I have the submit button that validate that input1, input2 and input3 are
complete and then
submit the form (redirect to page1.jsp)
And I need to have a link that opens a pop-up window after checking that
input1 is not
empty.
So I think that maybe I can have two diferent validations form the same
form, one for the submit
button (the one I`m doing in this code) and one for the submit link (that
need to check that input1
is required), but I`m a begginer in jquery so I don`t know if it is
possible...

Anybody could help me??
Thank! Sole.
