Get result of Validator

[DaveyWaveyParticipant]

Hi folks,

Is it possible to get (return) the result of the validator, or is this only detectable via the event bindings?

eg. Is is possible to do the something like the following (this code doesn’t work)…

$('#save-btn').click(function(e){
    var verr = $(this.form).jqxValidator('validate');

    if (verr === false) {alert('failed');}
});

OK, I can confirm that the above code IS WORKING, but there appears to be something wrong with my validation rules.

I am trying to validate a SELECT box to ensure an option is selected. It appears I must use a custom rule for this. My code is:

        var thisForm = $('#project-form');

        thisForm.jqxValidator({
            rules: [
                { input: '#project-title',  message: 'Project Title is required', action: 'keyup, blur', rule: 'required' },
                { input: '#project-client', message: 'Client is required',
                    rule: function(input){ if ($(input).val() == '') return false; }}
            ]
        }).on('validationSuccess', function (event) {
            alert('ready to post');
        });

The above validation rules work in that they generate the validation message when the fields are not populated, but with the ‘#project-client’ rule in place the validator won’t fire the ‘validationSuccess’ event. It works fine if the ‘#project-client’ rule is removed.

Any thoughts?

OK, after some more fiddling, it’s now working. The custom rule must also return true when the validation is good…

rule: function(input){ if ($(input).val() == '') { return false; } else { return true; } }}
