How to raise “completed” event on a submit event?

Question

The controller action is called after the completedCallback not after $(this).submit(). See the code below. How can i trigger the action before raising the completed callback wi

Answer 1

Maybe your action can return a url var, like ?status=submitted?

Then check in your javascript if that var exists and if so, trigger your completedCallback.

By the way, you should return false in your $(form).submit(function(){return false;}); if you dont want the form to be submitted if flag == true.

Answer 2

If you do not want to use ajax, you cannot reliably call something after the submit - the form's processing is done. You must use ajax if you want a response.

If you want to call your function BEFORE your form submit - again.. you MUST use some form of ajax.

If you really need control of events like this - you need ajax or iframe hacks. Sorry : )
