Gareth, >Dan, many thanks for the explanation. It took a couple of read throughs but >it all makes sense.
I've posted my presentation at: http://blog.pengoworks.com/blogger/index.cfm?action=blog:585 Take a look at the files for "ex2.5_mailing_list_validation_ajax.cfm" It shows off how you can combine local validation (using Jorn's Form Validation Plug-in) and submitting the form via AJAX (and reporting errors back.) You can also see the demo live at: http://www.pengoworks.com/workshop/jquery_demo/ex2.5_mailing_list_validation _ajax.cfm If you try to sign up with the e-mail address with my e-mail address, you'll notice you get an AJAX error (it'll have the string "[AJAX]" in it.) NOTE: The check for duplicate e-mails is hardcoded for the example, e-mail addresses aren't actually being added to anything. All the source code is in the presentation download. -Dan _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
