jQuery: Stop submitting form, perform script, continue submitting form?

Question

I have a form, and when I submit him I execute multiple script. Here is my code:

$(\"#RequestCreateForm\").submit(function (e) {
    if ($(\"#RequestCreateForm\"         


        

Answer 1

When you call $("#RequestCreateForm").submit(), the script will just run through the event handler again, and cause an infinite loop (as Koen pointed out in a comment on the accepted answer). So, you need to remove the event handler before submitting:

$("#RequestCreateForm").on('submit', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    // do some stuff, and if it's okay:
    $(this).off('submit').submit();
});

The last line needs to be in a conditional statement, otherwise it'll just always happen, and negate your e.preventDefault(); at the top.
