Hello, I am looking for a way to call successfully custom function from submitHandler to do proper ajax post.

Here is my custom function:

jQuery.fn.submitWithAjax = function() {
this.submit(function() {
$.post(this.action, $(this).serialize(), null, "script");
return false;
})
return this;
};

Before using validate plugin I had following which worked fine:

$(document).ready(function() { $("#my_form").submitWithAjax(); }

Now I have added the validation part and have no idea how to call my custom submitWithAjax function??

$(document).ready(function() {

$("#my_form").validate({

/*Validations - works perfectly!! */

},

submitHandler: function(form) {

/* $("#my_form").submitWithAjax(); - this works but
introduces recursion */

/* how to call custom subitWithAjax() ????? */

}

});
})

Thanks!
