I need to do validation on an email address via AJAX, and it has to happen cross-domain. I can get this to work fine using just jQuery's $.ajax method, but not when I try to turn it into a validator plugin method. As a validator method, it does the XHR call fine, and I see the results I expect in the console, but it seems to flag everything as invalid.
The method is here: http://pastie.org/447779 I think I'm just bad at writing custom validation methods, b/c as I said up top this works fine as a regular jQuery function. Notice that I'm using the success callback to cheat a little -- my server-side code throws back a status code of 200 and a piece of JSON containing a string of either "success" or "failure", and then the valid/invalid logic is in the success callback. I had to do this b/c the success callback is apparently the only one you get when doing a JSONP dataType. I'd love to use the great features inherent in the validator plugin for this if I could. Does anyone know how this can be done? many thanks! -TR
