JQuery Validation Plugin: Use Custom Ajax Method
- by namtax
Hi
Looking for some assistance with the Jquery form validation plugin if possible.
I am validating the email field of my form on blur by making an ajax call to my database, which checks if the text in the email field is currently in the database.
// Check email validity on Blur
$('#sEmail').blur(function(){
// Grab Email From Form
var itemValue = $('#sEmail').val();
// Serialise data for ajax processing
var emailData = {
sEmail: itemValue
}
// Do Ajax Call
$.getJSON('http://localhost:8501/ems/trunk/www/cfcs/admin_user_service.cfc?method=getAdminUserEmail&returnFormat=json&queryformat=column', emailData, function(data){
if (data != false) {
var errorMessage = 'This email address has already been registered';
}
else {
var errorMessage = 'Good'
}
})
});
What I would like to do, is encorporate this call into the rules of my JQuery Validation Plugin...e.g
$("#setAdminUser").validate({
rules:{
sEmail: {
required: function(){
// Replicate my on blur ajax email call here
}
},
messages:{
sEmail: {
required: "this email already exists"
}
});
Wondering if there is anyway of achieving this? Many thanks
