Hi
Not quite. The validation is a library that does the stuff for me! I
have changed thing a it that almost works:
<form id="myform" onsubmit="dosubmit()">
...
</form>
under the form I have the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
var valid = new Validation('myform');
function dosubmit() {
return valid.validate();
new Ajax.Updater( 'result', './test.php', { method: 'post',
parameters: $('myform').serialize() } );
$('myform').reset();
}
</script>
Now, this validates the form like is should and the return
valid.validate() stoppes the form from beeing submitted if the form is
not validated. However, when the form is validated, the script is not
executing the Ajax.Updater bit?
