jQuery Validation Plugin stopping form submission, submit button won't work
javascript, jquery
Solution
You are running the validator in debug mode. The relevant documentation says (emphasis mine):
debug Boolean Default: `false`
Enables debug mode. If `true`, the form is not submitted and certain errors are displayed on the console (requires Firebug or Firebug lite). Try to enable when a form is just submitted instead of validation stopping the submit.
Removing the `debug: true` option will fix your problem.
Problem
The following script using jQuery validation plugin - http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation - is preventing the form from sending that is found here: http://www.bestcastleintown.co.uk/book2.php Please fill in the form and watch the validation messages disappear then try to press send, this seems not to send and I don't understand why. When this script is removed the contact form will function correctly and allow sending. Therefore I think it is causing the problem. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. ``` <script type="text/javascript"> jQuery.validator.setDefaults({ debug: true, success: "valid" });; </script> <script> $(document).ready(function() { $("#aform").validate({ rules: { postcode: {required: true,minlength: 6}, phone: {required: true,number: true} } }); }); </script> ```
