jQuery UI Dialog with Form Validation Plugin

Question

I am currently using the bassistance validation plugin for my forms. And I am using a pop-up modal dialog box to house a form that needs to be validated, but for some reason it

Answer 1

I solved a similar issue in 3 steps:

1. Attaching the validator to the form:

   $('#your-form-id').validate();
   

2. When the Save button of your modal form is clicked, submit the form (the validator will be triggered):

   buttons: {
     "Save": function() {
       $('#your-form-id').submit();
     },
   

3. Move the submit logic to the validator submitHandler:

   $('#your-form-id').validate({
     submitHandler: function(form) {
       // do stuff
     }
   });
