I am trying to validate user to enter a unique mobile number and email id. It is checking and showing result mobile/email exist or not but if it exists still the form is submitting. Since I am new to jQuery validation I am not able to figure out how I should do it correctly nor can I find a perfect tutorial to do it in a right way.
Here is my code, I know lots of mistakes would be there and I apologize for those small mistakes.
On my form I have given On blur function to check mobile number and email
From these two functions I am checking in database if exist or not
function check_availability() {
//get the mobile number
var main = $('#main').val();
//use ajax to run the check
$.post("tutor/check_mobile", {
main: main
},
function(result) {
//if the result is 1
if (result == 1) {
//show that the username is available
$('#mobile_availability_result').html(' ');
} else {
//show that the username is NOT available
$('#mobile_availability_result').html('Mobile Number already registered ');
}
});
}
function email_availability() {
//get the email
var main = $('#email_tuitor').val();
//$email = urldecode("[email]")
//use ajax to run the check
$.post("<?php echo base_url(); ?>tutor/check_email", {
main: main
},
function(result) {
//if the result is 1
if (result == 1) {
//show that the username is available
$('#email_availability_result').html(' ');
} else {
//show that the username is NOT available
$('#email_availability_result').html('Email already registered ');
}
});
}
This is the jquery ajax form submission is it possible to do every validation on blur ?
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.error').hide();
$("#next_tutor").click(function() {
$('.error').hide();
var main = $("#main").val();
if (main == "") {
$("label#main_error").show();
$("input#main").focus();
return false;
}
var name = $("#name").val();
if (name == "") {
$("label#name_error").show();
$("input#name").focus();
return false;
}
var email_tuitor = $("#email_tuitor").val();
if (email_tuitor == "") {
$("label#email_tuitor_error").show();
$("input#email_tuitor").focus();
return false;
}
var password_tuitor = $("#password_tuitor").val();
if (password_tuitor == "") {
$("label#password_tuitor_error").show();
$("input#password_tuitor").focus();
return false;
}
var tutor = $("#tutor").val();
// Returns successful data submission message when the entered information is stored in database.
var dataString = 'main=' + main + '&name=' + name + '&email_tuitor=' + email_tuitor + '&password_tuitor=' + password_tuitor + '&tutor=' + tutor;
// AJAX Code To Submit Form.
//alert(dataString);
//die;
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php echo base_url(); ?>tutor/tutor_sub_ses",
data: dataString,
cache: false,
success: function(result) {
//alert(result);
$("#abc").hide();
$("#tutorreg2").slideToggle("slow").show();
}
});
return false;
});
});

The quick way will be to use a global switch to enable sending the form. I would to it this way:
Create global variables with default values
var mobileApproved = false, emailApproved = false;
Check status and prevent sending if value is false in click handler
$(document).ready(function() {
...
$("#next_tutor").click(function() {
if (!mobileApproved || !emailApproved) {
return false;
}
...
})
...
})
In your check functions manage approved status after each ajax response
...
$.post("tutor/check_mobile", {
main: main
},
function(result) {
//if the result is 1
if (result == 1) {
//show that the username is available
$('#mobile_availability_result').html(' ');
mobileApproved = true;
} else {
//show that the username is NOT available
$('#mobile_availability_result').html('Mobile Number already registered ');
mobileApproved = false;
}
});
...
$.post("<?php echo base_url(); ?>tutor/check_email", {
main: main
},
function(result) {
//if the result is 1
if (result == 1) {
//show that the username is available
$('#email_availability_result').html(' ');
emailApproved = true;
} else {
//show that the username is NOT available
$('#email_availability_result').html('Email already registered ');
emailApproved = false;
}
});
