jquery 按钮 onclick 输入验证（不在表单提交上）

Question

I have a form with action="autosave.php". This saves as normal when enter is clicked or the submit button is pressed.

<input type="submit" id="save" value="Save Changes" />

I am also using jquery autosave, which automatically submits the form every 10 secs

$('form.checklist').autosave({interval:10000,......});

My problem is, i want to put jquery validation on the form, but i dont want it to validate for any any the above 3 processes.

I only want the validation to take place when a button is clicked.

<button class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all" onclick="location.href='submit.php'" type="button">Submit</button>

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

<button id="submit" class="ui-state-default ui-corner-all"  type="button">Submit</button>
<script>
    $('#submit').click(function(e){
        dovalidation (obviously this must be your validation function)
        if(validation==true){
            location.href='submit.php';
        }else{
            e.preventDefault; return false;
        }
    });
</script>
