How does jQuery Validation plugin indicates that all fields are valid

Question

I am using jQuery form validation plugin. My problem is that I want to use it to check if all fields are valid and then run my custom javascript.

Please see the below example:

if(valid){
    //enable save button
    //if user accept terms(by using check the check box)
} else {
    return false;
}

Assuming your form has the ID my-form-id, you would first call:

$("#my-form-id").validate();

This validates the form. And then you can do:

if($("#my-form-id").valid()){
    //enable save button
    //if user accept terms(by using check the check box)
} else {
    return false;
}

The `.validate()` method does **not** _"validate the form"_. The `.validate()` method ***initializes*** the plugin on your form. Validation is then triggered *automatically* by certain events captured by the plugin. – Sparky Jan 04 '15 at 18:26
