cancel a submit in jquery?

Question

im doing a form validation and I want to validate the input fields when \"on submit\" if error Im using jquery.scrollTo to go to error:

$(\'#form_inscripcion         


        

Answer 1

I would use e.preventDefault() like this:

$('#form_inscripcion').submit(function(e) { 
     //se traen todos los inputs del formulario
     var $inputs = $('#form_inscripcion :input');

     $inputs.each(function() {
        var encontro_error = validar($(this)); //uses dependence ok
        if (encontro_error){
            $.scrollTo( 'input#'+$(this).attr('id'), 800 ); //go to error
            e.preventDefault(); // Cancel the submit
            return false; // Exit the .each loop
        }
     });
});

Just be sure to supply the e parameter to the submit function call (first line in the code block).
