Thanks Jörn, you've saved me again. Much appreciated.
This is all working now, the only issue I have left is how could I use
the Validation plugin with multiple forms? They would need different
ID's, which I can grab with a variable, but I can't seem to submit to
a specific form ID. Here is the line of code to validate:
$("form").validate();
I would like to change form to a variable, within a function. Here is
my complete code, can anyone tell me how to specify the variable
"formID" in the validate() call? Thanks for any help.
$(document).ready(function(){
$(":submit[id$='_replace']").each(function() {
var submitID = $(this).attr("id");
var submitValue = $(this).attr("value");
var formID = $(this).parents("form").attr("id");
$(this).replaceWith( [ '<a class="replace '
, submitID
, '" id="'
, submitID
, '" href="#"><em></em>'
, submitValue
, '</a>'
].join('')
);
$('#'+submitID).click(function() {
$('#'+formID).submit();
return false;
});
});
$("form").validate();
});
Cheers
Paul
