Answer 1

Follow the below steps,

1. Get the value of the text box like,

   var controlValue = $("#controlid").val();
   

2. The do the validation using the condition as required, say for example as,

   if(txtBox1 != "")
   {
       alert("error"); 
   }
   

3. If all conditions passed then submit the form.

   $("form[0]").submit();
