why dont you do the checks before submit?
Example: Inside submit function...
make sure you got a div to display errors:
var err = jQuery('#error'); //<div name="error" id="error"....
form.submit(function(evt) { //submitting the form
//then check to see if inputs are correct...
if(form.find('#author')[0]) {
if(form.find('#author').val() == '') {
err.html('<span class="error">Enter Name</span>');
return false;
} // end if
//then check if email is correct...
if(form.find('#email').val() == '') {
err.html('<span class="error">'+enter_email+'</span>');
return false;
} // end if
var filter =
/^([a-zA-Z0-9_\.\-])+\@(([a-zA-Z0-9\-])+\.)+([a-zA-
Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;
if(!filter.test(form.find('#email').val())) {
err.html('<span class="error">'+enter_valid+'</span>');
if (evt.preventDefault) {evt.preventDefault();}
return false;
} // end if
} // end if
}); end of submit...
Hope this help alittle =)
