jQuery ajaxSubmit ignored by IE8 - ajax

I am combing the jQuery validation plug-in with the jQuery Form Plugin to submit the form via AJAX.
This works perfectly in Firefox & Chrome, but (as usual) Internet Explorer is being a pain. For reasons that are alluding me, IE is ignoring the ajaxSubmit, as a result it submits the form in the normal fashion.
I've followed the validation plug-in's documentation when constructing my code:
JS:
<script src="/js/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/js/jquery.form.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var validator = $("#form_notify").validate({
messages: {
email: {
required: 'Please insert your email address. Without your email address we will not be able to contact you!',
email:'Please enter a <b>valid</b> email address. Without a valid email address we will not be able to contact you!'
}
},
errorLabelContainer: "#error",
success: "valid",
submitHandler: function(form) {$(form).ajaxSubmit();}
});
$('#email').blur(function() {
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() > 0) {
$("#label").addClass("label_error");
return false;
}
else {$("#label").removeClass("label_error");}
});
$('#form_notify').submit(function() {
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() == 0) {
$(this).fadeOut('fast', function() {$('#thank-you').fadeIn();});
return true;
}
return false;
});
});
</script>
Form HTML:
<form id="form_notify" class="cmxform" name="form_notify" action="optin.pl" method="get">
<fieldset>
<div class="input">
<label id="label" for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="" title="email address" class="{required:true, email:true}"/>
<div class="clearfix"></div>
</div>
<input type="hidden" name="key" value="sub-745-9.224;1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0;;subscribe-224.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="followup" value="19">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit-button" value="Notify Me">
<div id="error"></div>
</fieldset>
</form>
I can't understand what is causing IE to act differently, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I can provide more information if needed.
Thanks in advance!

Try the following:
$('#form_notify').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if (validator.numberOfInvalids() == 0) {
$(this).fadeOut('fast', function() {$('#thank-you').fadeIn();});
return true;
}
return false;
});

AJAX form $('form')[0].reset(); on submit not clearing values. What am I missing?

thank you in advance for any help given. I'm just learning jQuery and AJAX and would appreciate some help with the following code. All validation rules work, the form submits and the page does not refresh. The problem is that the form values are not clearing/resetting to default after the submit has triggered. Thoughts?
**********EDITED to include HTML markup*************
<div id="form">
<h1 class="title">Contact Us</h1><!-- title ends -->
<p class="contactUs">Ask about our services and request a quote today!</p><!-- contactUs ends -->

if ($('#nameError, #emailError, #messageError').is(':visible')) {
$('#nameError, #emailError, #messageError').fadeOut(250);
}
$('form')[0].reset();//clear form after submit success
}//success ends
});//ajax ends
e.preventDefault();//prevent default page refresh
}//else ends
});//submit ends
});//function ends
//if reset button is clicked AND messages displayed, remove all form html messages
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#form input[type="reset"]').click(function() {
if ($('#success, #nameError, #emailError, #messageError').is(':visible')) {
$('#success, #nameError, #emailError, #messageError').fadeOut(250);
}
});
});
By giving your input id="reset" and/or name="reset", you effectively overwrote the form.reset method of the form because by doing so you made form.reset target the reset button. Simply give it a different id and name value.
Never give elements name or id attributes that equal the name of a property of a dom node.

Hot Towel Angular data-ng-show not working during validation

Hello anyone has anyone tried doing a validation using angularjs in a with Hot Towel template?
Basically i have a property in my angular controller which is binded(two way) in my view.
I just want to do a simple required validation, and then show a <span> element with the message.
here is my controller code
(function () {
'use strict';
var controllerId = 'login';
angular.module('app').controller(controllerId, ['$scope', 'common', 'userservice','$location', login]);
function login($scope, common, userservice, $location) {
var getLogFn = common.logger.getLogFn;
var log = getLogFn(controllerId);
var vm = this;
vm.title = 'Login';
//view model for credentials
vm.email = null;
activate();
function activate() {
common.activateController([], controllerId)
.then(function () { log('Activated Login View'); });
}
}
})();
and this is my view
<div data-ng-controller="login as vm">
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" novalidate data-ng-submit="loginuser()">
<fieldset>
<legend>Login</legend>
<p>
<label>Email</label>
<input type="email" data-ng-model="email" placeholder="Email" required />
<span data-ng-show="loginform.email.$error.required">*</span>
</p>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
i dont know what the problem is, but the <span> just wont show. am i missing something?
You have to set 'name' attribute to your input email :
<input type="email" name="email" data-ng-model="email" placeholder="Email" required />
For each field of your form, angularjs will set a value like: loginform[name-attribute].
For your information, your span will be visible only when required error is triggered (when your email is not empty, your span will be hidden).

fancybox and jquery form validation

Have problem with fancybox and jquery validate plugin when form is in fancybox container.
For examle (inline):
html:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){ $.fancybox('
<form class="myform">
<input type="text" name="email" class="email" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
');
})
</script>
js file:
$(".myform").validate(
{
rules: {
email: "required",
email: "email"
}
}
);
How to make jquery validation pluging to work in fancybox?
Do two things...
Use the afterLoad FancyBox callback function to initialize .validate() immediately after the form is loaded.
Put the content for FancyBox in a hidden div instead of in your jQuery. It's cleaner.
Note: You may want to reconsider using email for the name attribute. It has potential to cause great confusion since the rule is also called email.
HTML:
<a id="test" href="#inline">Test</a>
<div style="display:none" id="inline">
<form class="myform">
<input type="text" name="email" class="email" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" />
</form>
</div>
jQuery:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#test').fancybox({
afterLoad: function() {
$('.myform').validate({
// rules and options for validate plugin,
rules: {
email: { // "email" is name of the field
required: true,
email: true // "email" is name of the rule
}
}
});
}
});
});

Want to execute function when press enter key on text field

I have thi HTML:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="PtName" type="text" id="PtName" />
<input name="Button" type="button" id="button" onclick="search_p()" value="Check" />
</form>
serach_p() is function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function search_p(){
$.ajax({
url: 'srchpt.php',
type: 'POST',
data: { PtName: $('#PtName').val()},
success: function(data){
$(".myresult").html(data);
}
})
}
</script>
I want when I press enter key in PtName text do same search_p() function
How can I do that?
Specify an onsubmit on your form:
<form ... onsubmit="search_p(); return false">
and change the type of your button to submit:
<input name="Button" type="submit" id="button" value="Check" />
you can do this by using following jquery function:
$("#PtName").keyup(function (e) {
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
// call function
}
});
Javascript :
In javascript put the following function
function enterPressed(event) {
var key;
if (window.event) {
key = window.event.keyCode; //IE
} else {
key = event.which; //firefox
}
if (key == 13) {
yourFunction();
// do whatever you want after enter pressed event. I have called a javascript function
}
}
HTML :
<input type="text" onkeypress="javascript:enterPressed(event)">
For required textfield put onkeypress event
Call your function on submit event of your form:-
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function search_p(){
$.ajax({
url: 'srchpt.php',
type: 'POST',
data: { PtName: $('#PtName').val()},
success: function(data){
$(".myresult").html(data);
}
})
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="" onsubmit="search_p()" >
<input name="PtName" type="text" id="PtName" />
<input name="Button" type="button" id="button" onclick="search_p()" value="Check" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
I wanted a textarea that would break-line on shift+enter, and on Enter would submit:
This seems to answer my query

Ajax .load() with php value from db

Basically i have a value from a database ($learner->idnumber)
I then have a form which posts using submithandler to process.php (this edits database)
Now this is the bit im stuck on, im trying to get the php db value $learner->idnumber to update without page refresh once the form has been processed.
I have found:
$("#pinnumber").load("profile.php #pinnumber");
but im not quite sure on how to implement this.
This is my code:
<a id="pinlink">edit</a>
<div id="results"><div>
<div id="pinnumber">
'.$learner->idnumber.'
<div>
<div id="pincontent" style="display:none;">
<form name="myform" id="myform" method="POST">
<input type="text" name="idnumber" id="idnumber" size="20" value=""/>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Update">
</form>
<div>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#pinlink").click(function () {
$("#pincontent").show();
});
$("#myform").validate({
debug: false,
rules: {
idnumber: "required",
},
messages: {
idnumber: "Please enter your PIN",
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$("#pincontent").hide();
// do other stuff for a valid form
$.post('process.php', $("#myform").serialize(), function(data) {
$('#results').html(data);
});
}
});
});
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I included:
print "".$_POST['idnumber']."";
in process.php before the save to db code.
this then printed into:
<div id="results"><div>
when form was submitted.
