check if username exists on form submit
- by Developer
This is my code.
.js
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#username").focusout(function() {
$.ajax({
type:'post',
url:site_url()+'/client/checkUserName',
data:{'username':$("#username").val()},
dataType:'json',
success:function(result){
if(result != 'false'){
$('#message').text('Username exists');
}
}
});
});
.html
<form id='form1' method="post">
<input type="text" name="username" id="username"/>
<span id="message" style="color:red"></span>
<input type="submit" value="submit" id="regis" class="btn"/>
</form>
Its working fine on focusout.
How to make the form to not submit if username exists?
Suppose there is a hidden field in the form say
<input type="text" hidden id="type" value="<?php echo $type;?>">
Then if value exists in the hidden field then the username neednot be checked if already exists or not.
