Mike: If you are validating a form before submitting, or doing validation in a link onclick, you could do synchronous ajax, and when it returns, it could have an event bubble boolean. If return true, then everything is ok, continue submitting the form or clicking the button, if false, then things are not ok, Ajax should popup a dialog and the user can correct things. Granted you could do async, then the ajax coming back could just do a form.submit, but why not give people options? When doing a synchronous ajax call, the blockUI indicator should appear on the screen so the user knows whats going on. Can this be made to work?
