James,
Thanks for the response. yes, I created a single lookup function
rather than having to generate mutiple lookups. Shouldn't be a problem
if zorn checks the url for ? prior to attaching his key, value pair to
the url. if he doesnt check for it, he will after reading this post
ands sees the simplicity of a single lookup script.
The documentation fails to include the server side scripts in the
examples. but when i looked on my downloaded examples they only return
true or false. which is exaclty what my lookup.php returns.
ok.... This must be a BUG I just changed my lookup.php to a single
line of code: echo "false"; and the validator adds a class of
"valid" to my form.
Zorn,
Please let me know when you get a new version of the validator, I am
really looking forward to implementing it in my app but for now I will
have to be on my own.
