I’ve had trouble trying to validate jquery ajaxify forms using validation plugin
first I tried hacking onStart event but that would load the hash and fail at validation leaving me with a wrong hash in the URL bar
the thing that worked was hacking into the function that binds the event
I just asked there if the bind was for a form element and if so I called validate function
If it returned false I also returned false and effectively stopped form submission
hashes work fine, forms work fine
anyway, this is the piece of code for anyone interested
if(jQuery(this).is('form')) {
if (!jQuery(this).valid()) {
return false;
}
}
happy hacking
