I have a page where almost every click is handled by delegate(). http://itsneworleans.com/shows/midnight-menu-plus-1/blogs/after-midnight?preview=1
I set up jQuery validate like so
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".commentform form").validate({
rules: {
antispam: { equalToParam: "INO" }
}
});
jQuery.validator.addMethod("equalToParam", function(value, element, param) {
return value == param;
},
"Anti-spam field does not match requested value.");
});
if I check in console with
$.validator.methods['equalToParam']
I get back
function (value, element, param) { return value == param; }
so that looks good.
The validation works on the form submission BUT the equalToParam method has no effect. Only the "required" events occur for it.
The field HTML is
<input name="antispam" type="text" class="required" id="antispam" size="5" />
Where am I going wrong?
EDIT Here is whole form code (generated from PHP script and added to page via AJAX):
<? if ($post = (int) $_POST['pID']) { ?>
<div class="commentform">
<form>
<div class="commenttext">Comment:<br>
<textarea name="comment" class="required"></textarea>
</div>
<div class="commenttext">Your name:<br>
<input type="text" name="name" class="required">
</div>
<div class="commenttext">Your email (will not be publically visible):<br>
<input type="text" name="email" class="required email">
</div>
<div class="commenttext">Type the letters INO here to help us beat spam!<br>
<input name="antispam" type="text" class="required" id="antispam" size="5" />
</div>
<div class="commenttext">
<input type="button" name="submitcomment" class="submitcomment" value="Submit Comment">
<input type="hidden" name="post" value="<?=$post?>">
<? if ($parentComment = (int) $_POST['cID']) { ?>
<input type="hidden" name="parent" value="<?=$parentComment?>">
<? } ?>
</div>
</form>
</div>
<? } ?>
EDIT AGAIN And here's the click delegation code...
$("body").delegate(".submitcomment", "click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var theform = $(this).closest("form");
console.log('Posting comment');
if ($(".commentform form").valid()) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/addComment.php",
data: theform.serialize()
}).done(function(html) {
if (html == 'OK') {
$(theform).html("<div class='commentposted'>Your comment has been received. Thank you. A moderator will review it for public viewing.</div>");
} else {
alert(html);
}
});
}
});
EDIT Here is the code which populates the form into the space where the Reply to Post link was:
$("body").delegate(".getcommentform", "click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var pIDval = $(this).attr("data-pid");
var cIDval = $(this).attr("data-cid");
var thebox = $(this).closest("div.commentformcontainer");
console.log('Getting comment form');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/commentForm.php",
data: { pID : pIDval, cID : cIDval }
}).done(function(html) {
thebox.html(html);
});
});
When you need to apply the .validate()
method to more than one form
, you must wrap it within a jQuery .each()
.
$(".commentform form").each(function() {
$(this).validate({
rules: {
antispam: {
equalToParam: "INO"
}
}
});
});
EDIT :
You need to initialize the plugin AFTER the form is inserted into the page. Assuming this code properly inserts the form... put your .validate()
call as the last item inside...
$("body").delegate(".getcommentform", "click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var pIDval = $(this).attr("data-pid");
var cIDval = $(this).attr("data-cid");
var thebox = $(this).closest("div.commentformcontainer");
console.log('Getting comment form');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/commentForm.php",
data: { pID : pIDval, cID : cIDval }
}).done(function(html) {
thebox.html(html);
});
$(".commentform form").validate({ // <- initialize plugin AFTER form is inserted
// your rules & options
});
});
EDIT 2 :
Include the equalToParam
function someplace on your page within a DOM ready event handler.
