jQuery 1.7.2
jQuery Validate 1.1.0
jQuery Form 3.18
Wordpress 3.4.2
I am trying to code a contact/ mail form in above environment/ with above jQuery libs. Now I am having a problem with the jQuery Form JS:
I have taken the original code from the developers page for ajaxSubmit and only altered the target option to an ID which exists in my HTML source and replaced $ with jQuery in function showRequest.
The problem is, that the function namend after success: does not fire. I tried the same with error: and again nothing fired.
Only complete: did and the function I placed there alerted the responseText from the receiving script.
Does anyone has an idea whats going wrong? Thanks in advance!

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
var options = {
target: '#mail-status', // target element(s) to be updated with server response
beforeSubmit: showRequest, // pre-submit callback
success: showResponse, // post-submit callback
// other available options:
//url: url // override for form's 'action' attribute
//type: type // 'get' or 'post', override for form's 'method' attribute
//dataType: null // 'xml', 'script', or 'json' (expected server response type)
//clearForm: true // clear all form fields after successful submit
//resetForm: true // reset the form after successful submit
// $.ajax options can be used here too, for example:
//timeout: 3000
};
jQuery("#mailform").validate(
{
submitHandler: function(form) { jQuery(form).ajaxSubmit(options); },
errorPlacement: function(error, element) { },
rules: {
author: {
minlength: 2,
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
comment: {
minlength: 2,
required: true
}
},
highlight: function(element)
{
jQuery(element).addClass("e");
jQuery(element.form).find("label[for=" + element.id + "]").addClass("e");
},
unhighlight: function(element)
{
jQuery(element).removeClass("e");
jQuery(element.form).find("label[for=" + element.id + "]").removeClass("e");
}
});
});
// pre-submit callback
function showRequest(formData, jqForm, options) {
// formData is an array; here we use $.param to convert it to a string to display it
// but the form plugin does this for you automatically when it submits the data
var queryString = jQuery.param(formData);
// jqForm is a jQuery object encapsulating the form element. To access the
// DOM element for the form do this:
// var formElement = jqForm[0];
alert('About to submit: \n\n' + queryString);
// here we could return false to prevent the form from being submitted;
// returning anything other than false will allow the form submit to continue
return true;
}
// post-submit callback
function showResponse(responseText, statusText, xhr, $form) {
// for normal html responses, the first argument to the success callback
// is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseText property
// if the ajaxSubmit method was passed an Options Object with the dataType
// property set to 'xml' then the first argument to the success callback
// is the XMLHttpRequest object's responseXML property
// if the ajaxSubmit method was passed an Options Object with the dataType
// property set to 'json' then the first argument to the success callback
// is the json data object returned by the server
alert('status: ' + statusText + '\n\nresponseText: \n' + responseText +
'\n\nThe output div should have already been updated with the responseText.');
