Just got back into town. Did you place the document.ready function within ?

Apparently I can’t figure out how to add actual HTML to this comment….

I’m trying to use imValidateForm from within some PHP code. When I click Submit I see that it gets called, because the Submit button becomes unavailable, but I never get any error messages and if there are no errors in the form, the url never gets called. I’m using jQuery 1.3.2. In my PHP I have:

$(document).ready( function( ) {
$(’#submit’).click( function( ) {
$(’#frmRequest’).imValidateForm( {
responseDiv: ‘response’,
validate_func: ‘validateFields’,
validate_map: valMapReg1,
url: ‘request.php’,
data_type: ‘json’,
submit_button: ’submit’
} );
return false;
} );
} );

And my validation map looks like:

var valMapReg1 = { “fields”: [
{"id": "pi_name", "label": "Principal Investigator", "rules": [{"name": "hasValue", "exclude": "0"}]},
{”id”: “title”, “label”: “Title”, “rules”: [{"name": "hasValue"}]},
{”id”: “discipline”, “label”: “Scientific Discipline”, “rules”: [{"name": "hasValue"}]},
{”id”: “area”, “label”: “Disciplinary Area”, “rules”: [{"name": "hasValue", "exclude": "0"}]},
{”id”: “abstract”, “label”: “Abstract”, “rules”: [{"name": "hasValue"}]},
{”id”: “tos”, “label”: “Terms of Service”, “rules”: [{"name": "isChecked"}]}
]}

I was able to duplicate your problem. I’m surprised no one else caught it. I put a new version (1.2) on both JQuery’s plugin site and Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/imvalidateform/). Thanks.

Thanks for the plugin, hope you can help me with a problem I have.

If I hit the submit button while any “watched” field is empty, the plugin throws an error message to my reporting div section.

However, if I attempt to submit the form again I receive this message in my reporting div section:
“[object Object]”

Any subsequent submission attempts fail and the page is neither submitted or refreshed.

I should also mention that I am using code from “SPAM Protection Using PHP and jQuery”

http://plugins.jquery.com/project/SPAMProtection

Here is my jQuery code:

jQuery(”.required”).blur(function() {

jQuery.get(”newregister.php”, { //name of the PHP file containing the session code
confirm: ”
},

function(data){
// alert(”Data Loaded: ” + data);
});

});

jQuery(”#btnSubmit”).click(function() {
jQuery(”#form1″).imValidateForm({
responseDiv: ‘response’,
validate_map: valMapReg1,
url:’newregister.php’,
data_type: ‘text’,
submit_button: ‘btnSubmit’
});
return false;
});

The page is not posted yet, so I will provide more code if asked or needed.

I created demos for all my JQuery Plugins – http://grasshopperpebbles.com/demos/
I will be adding my YUI and Dojo widgets here as well (as soon as I get the time).

hi! this is a really useful plugin. Maybe I didn’t see, but can you please post a php/asp example of the server side processing. For example, json resulting text must be [ {"message", "It's all good"} ] ?

Question: I have a form that requires the user to fill in two of 4 separate text fields in order to successfully submit the form. What I need to do is have it validate if either the first two or the second two fields are both filled in, and then display an error message if the user has not filled in either both of the first two or both of the second two…..is this possible using eitherOr? Thanks for any help you might be able to offer me on this!
