[validate] Turning off validation on back, cancel button

The requirement would be to be able to press a back or cancel button or input and for validation to be turned off/ignored/diasabled.

At the moment the code does this for input type="submit" but I need it to work for input type="image".

This is the jquery validation file with code changed from: this.find(".cancel:submit").click(function() { to: this.find(".cancel").click(function() { so that the cancel class turns off validation for both input type="submit" and input type="image"

Change History (5)

One possible selector would be find("input, button").filter(".cancel"), avoiding the pure class-selector.

Hi there,

found this thread today. To realize a back-button with class="back" I added this code to jquery.validate.js at line 28:

if ($(event.target).hasClass("back")) {

validator.cancelSubmit = true;

history.back();

return false;

}

Thanks. Awesome.
