[jQuery] Re: Validation Problem

[Nimrod]

Hi,

Thanks for the help!

I revised my code but still doesn't work. I know there's wrong in my
code but I can't figure it out. Here is the revised code. I hope you
can help me with this.

<script type="text/javascript">

$().ready(function() {
        var container = $('div.error-container');
        // Validate the form when it is submitted
        $("#frmCompanyGroup").validate({
                rules: {
                        GroupName: {
                                required: true,
                                remote: 
"contents/company_group_validate_name.asp"
                        }
                },
                messages: {
                        GroupName: {
                                required: "Enter a Group Name",
                                remote: jQuery.format("{0} is already in use")
                        }
                },
                errorContainer: container,
                errorLabelContainer: $("ol", container),
                wrapper: 'li',
                meta: "validate"
        });

        $('#btnCancel').click
        (
                function ()
                        {
                                location.href = '<%=MAIN_URL & "co-grp"%>'
                        }
        );

});

</script>


<div class="col60">
    <form action="<%=MAIN_URL & sPageOption &"&m=add"%>" method="post"
id="frmCompanyGroup" class="basic-form">
        <input type="hidden" name="CompanyGroupID" value="<
%=lCompanyGroupID%>">
        <fieldset class="standard-form">
            <legend>Details</legend>
            <table class="form-table">
                <tr>
                    <td class="key"><label for="GroupName">Company
Group Name:</label></td>
                    <td><input type="text" name="GroupName"
id="GroupName" size="50" maxlength="150" value="<%=sGroupName%>" /></
td>
                </tr>
            </table>
        </fieldset>

        <div class="standard-form-buttons">
                        <% If sMode = "edit" Or sMode = "add" Then %><input 
name="Submit"
id="Submit" type="submit" value="<%=sButton%>"><% End If
%>&nbsp;&nbsp;
            <input name="btnCancel" id="btnCancel" type="button"
value="Cancel">
        </div>
    </form>


Thanks,
Nimrod
