jQuery validation: Checking if form is validated?

Question

I would like to run a function if my form has completely validated according to my defined rules (Not shown below).

The below code doesn't work as I would like it to, most certainly depending on the fact that the success function is called on a per-input basis and not globally for the complete form .

Are there any workarounds to get a global success callback that runs when the complete form validates properly?

$("#myForm").validate({

    success: function(label) {

        if ($("#myForm").valid()) {
            runMyFunction();
        }

    },

    rules: {
        //...
    }

});

$("#myForm").validate({

    rules: {
        //...
    },
    success: function(label) {           

    },
   submitHandler: function(e) {
          e.preventDefault();
          runMyFunction();           
    }    
 });

REF: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#toptions

you dont have to do

if ($("#myForm").valid()) {
            runMyFunction();
        }

the success callback is called only when the from is validated just runMyFunction()

success callback doesn't work on a global basis and is called for every passed validation, ie. for every properly inputted form by the user.

I ended up using this modification to the validation plugin:

Hi! As you can see in my example, I already call the valid function in the success callback. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Answer makes no sense... OP is asking about jQuery Validate plugin by Bassistance.

Gaurav Shah Over a year ago

doesn't seem so from the question

Sparky Over a year ago

Title says "jQuery validation:", question is tagged [jquery-validate], and code contains .validate(). All three things ==> Bassistance Validation plugin.
