I have a jQuery validation script that is working perfectly with the except of the event handler. I have simplified this post for troubleshooting purposes.
jQuery
submitHandler: function (form) {
$.ajax({
type: $(form).attr("method"),
url: $(form).attr("action"),
data: $(form).serialize(),
dataType : "json"
})
.done(function (data) {
if (data.resp > 0 ) {
alert(data.message);
}
});
return false; // required to block normal submit since you used ajax
},
// rest of the validation below, truncated for clarity
The submitHandler successfully posts to my PHP script that adds a user to a database and then echoes back a json_encode() result.
PHP
<?php
// All processing code above this line has been truncated for brevity
if($rows == "1"){
$resp = array("resp"=>1, "message"=>"Account created successfully. Waiting for user activation.");
}else{
$resp = array("resp"=>2, "message"=>"User account already exists.");
}
echo json_encode($resp);
?>
As you can see the idea is simple. Alert the user with the proper response message. When I run my script the user account is added successfully to the database but no alert is displayed to the user. The Console in Chrome shows no errors, what am I missing?
