$(form).ajaxSubmit is not a function

Question

I\'m trying to use the jquery validate plugin to validate a form and submit the contents with an ajax request.

This code is in the head of my document.

Answer 1

Try:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#contact-form').validate({submitHandler: function(form) {
         var data = $('#contact-form').serialize();   
         $.post(
              'url_request',
               {data: data},
               function(response){
                  console.log(response);
               }
          );
         }
    });
});
