[RESOLVED] JQuery: how to stop refresh after submit press?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hey

Im having some problems with the $(“form”).submit() function in JQuery. When i press the submit button the <div id=”formOutput”></div> should display Validating… and it does. The problem is that when i press the submit button the page also refreshes, so the display of Validating is only showing at the time where the page havent got to refresh yet.

How do i stop the refresh of the page, when i press the submit button?

@JJohnsenDKauthorJan 03.2009 — forgot to put code with :/

[CODE]
// Do something with submit
$("form").submit(function() {
if ($("input:first").val()) {
$("#formOutput").html("Validated...").show();
return true;
}
$("#formOutput").text("Not valid!").show().fadeOut(1000);
return false;
});
[/CODE]

[code=html]
<div>
<form method="post" action="#">
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="send" />
</form>
</div>
<div id="formOutput">

</div>
[/code]

@FangJan 03.2009 — If the data is 'not valid' it won't refresh

@JJohnsenDKauthorJan 03.2009 — i am aware of that, but my problem is that it should refresh anytime. Why does it not refresh if the data is 'not valid' and why does it refresh when it is valid?

@FangJan 03.2009 — Use [I]return true[/I] for both cases.
