Jquery form submit validation

Question

I have following form:

<form id="testForm" action="country_Save">
   Country Name:<input type="text" id="countryName" />  
   <input type="submit" id='saveCountry' value="Add Country" />
</form>

and following JQuery for validating textfield

$('#testForm')
   .jqxValidator({  rules : [
          {
              input : '#countryName',
              message : 'Country Name is required!',
              action : 'keyup, blur',
              rule : 'required'
          }],
          theme : theme
});

How can i use this validation when I am submitting a form?

Answer 1

Bind a function to the submit event of the form. Return false in this function if any of the form fields fail validation.

For example:

$('form').on('submit', function() {
    // do validation here
    if(/* not valid */)
        return false;
});
