I'm familiar with the method of submitting a form via a change event like or a checkbox's check event. Most articles explain how to find the first form using jQuery and invoke it's submit() method. However, I wish to submit the form but not cause validation so the back-end can perform other actions. In my case, I have a dropdown that a users changes. Depending on the value, the back-end adds/removes certain controls. The issue I'm runing into is that the validation prevents the form from submitting.
