Rails spinoffs - Dec 2007 - Assigning submit handler to form

Hi folks,

A quick question for somebody. I''m adding a simple validation JS to my
form by attaching it like so:

$(''my_form'').observe(''submit'', function(e) {
return
view_ns.validate_form(Event.element(e)); });

The validate_form() function returns true or false. But regardless of
it''s return value, the form is always submitted. ''sup wi
dat''?

Any ideas? Oh, and it''s wrapped in an anonymous function
that''s passed
to a onload bootstrap function. Is THAT where the problem lies?

Thanks! :-)

When using observe you have to explicitly stop event:

$(''my_form'').observe(''submit'', function(e) {
  if (!view_ns.validate_form(Event.element(e)) {
    e.stop(); // Event.stop(e) in 1.5.1
  }
})


best,
