Hello, I am using a few plugins together for AJAX forms and validation. I have validation on the name and phone fields. If you add a class of required to the fields, the validation plugin will automatically validate them. If you want to do more advanced validation you have to tell it so.
I have the below code and if I don't if I fill out the form but put non integer values in the phone number field it will tell me to put a valid number. But if I click on submit a second time it will let the form post. Even though I did not fill in a valid phone number. What am I doing wrong? $(document).ready(function() { $.validator.addMethod("phone", function(ph, element) { if (ph == null) { return false; } var stripped = ph.replace(/[\s()+-]|ext\.?/gi, ""); // 10 is the minimum number of numbers required return ((/\d{10,}/i).test(stripped)); }, "Please enter a valid phone number"); $("#post_form").validate({ rules: { phone: { required: true, phone: true } } }); $('#post_form').submit(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); // cancel the default action var form = this; var data = {} data.name = $(form).find('inp...@name=name]').val(); data.email = $(form).find('inp...@name=email]').val(); data.phone = $(form).find('inp...@name=phone]').val(); data.comments = $(form).find('inp...@name=comments]').val(); // suppose our django app called 'testapp' $.post("/user/scheduleshowing/T33432123/", data, function(responseData) { $("#fade").fadeOut("slow"); $("#done").html('<p class="bold">Thank you for your interest. An associate will contact you shortly.</p>'); }, "json" ); }); });
