You'll have to forgive me if this question sounds easy but I am fairly new to jQuery so I'm still learning things here.
I'm trying to do the following: -Display a signup form with the Fancybox plugin (working) -Validate the form, currently using the bassistance Validation plugin (working) -Dynamically check a MySQL database, via AJAX, to see if the username is already taken (????) -Once the form checks out then I want to upload the information to MySQL The problems I am having right now are as follows: -The validation script will function correctly on the standalone webpage. However, when I try to open the webpage via the Fancybox plugin the validation ceases to work. The submit button will refresh the webpage and the validation doesn't fire. Does anyone why this happend? -I really haven't used AJAX before so I don't know if this whole shabang will work or where I should start. Can these two things (Validation, Fancybox) be combined? If so, is the way that I proposed a valid way to combine them or can I change what I am doing to something more efficient? Thanks!
