Ajax method within a added method in jQuery validator
- by nikospkrk
Hi,
I'm kind of stuck with this pretty simple (I'm sure) jQuery/Javascript issue.
Here's the code :
jQuery.validator.addMethod("emailExists", function(value, element, param) {
var email = value || '';
var valid = 0;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: param,
data: "email=" + email,
success: function(msg) {
if (msg != '' && msg)
{
valid = 0;
}
else
{
valid = 1;
}
}
});
return valid;
}, "* Email address already registered, please login.");
This function is called where a user type his email address in a registration form, and everything seems to work perfectly, except that my valid variable returned isn't updated, whereas when I use an alert box it is properly done!
It looks like it return the value before the AJAX is done, any idea?
Cheers,
Nicolas.
