including jquery.validate 1.7 switches ajax call to jsonp

[jdart@…]

If you use $.ajax and include jquery.validate.js, it will switch your call to using jsonp.

jQuery validate redefines ajax and, in the process, extends options with ajaxSettings to allow its new custom options to be stored there. I contacted Jörn with a clean workaround using a prefilter.

As this isn't jQuery core bug but a bug in a plugin I'm closing the ticket. The author has been notified of the issue and a way to fix his plugin has been proposed. So please check on the plugins homepage for an updated version to appear to use with jQuery 1.5+.

In general reports for bugs in plugins should be filed on the plugin site or directly to the respective authors of those plugins. You can also try posting to the correct subforum in the ​jQuery Forum or using the ​#jquery irc channel on freenode for support.

Can you atleast provide a solution here until the author will provide a new version?

jaubourg shared this in irc: ​http://pastebin.com/5teiWN8K it's the feature detection needed to make jquery.validate work with the new ajax. The code in jquery.validate.js is at line 1090

I forked jQuery validation and patched it: ​https://github.com/jaubourg/jquery-validation

You can grab the script and test it in your environment:
