  How to overide the 'onErrors' method of jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js

  Jan 17, 2012 10:39 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I'm looking for ideas on how to override/replace the functionality of the onErrors method in jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js for my Validation Groups project (MVC3 Validation Groups - http://bit.ly/zRmxwD).  Does any one have any idea? 

  My initial attempts failed before the method (and assignment) is scoped to a JQuery document Load event handler. 

  Thanks,

  Martin

  Hi,  thanks for the response.  The method you use in that post appears to be the same that I'm currently using, ie. modifying the original js file.  What I'm hoping for is a way to amend the functionality without editing that file.

  Still, it's a very interesting feature that you've created!

  Regards,

  Martin

  just override it in jquery validater

  $(function() {

    $('form').validate().settings.invalidHandler = function(f,v) {

    });
  });

  just be sure your code is after the unobtrusive include.

  Hi, this doesn't seem to affect anything it runs successfully by the original onErrors function still get's called.  It looks like the function that gets called is the version assigned when the document is first parsed (which happens right at the end of the standard script, before the next script runs).

  Thanks for the suggestion!

  See this.

  I think I must be being thick...I adapted that approach and got this:

  $('form').each(function (i, form) {
          $form = $(form);
          var settings = $form.data('validator').settings;
          settings.invalidHandler = onGroupedErrors;
          if (settings.invalidHandler === onGroupedErrors) alert("Correctly Assigned!");
      });

  The code runs (after the unobtrusive validation script) and I see the 'Correctly Assigned!' alert box for each form, but the old function still runs when there are validation errors.

  I've also tried assigning the values back into data with the same results:

      $('form').each(function (i, form) {
          $form = $(form);
          var val = $form.data('validator');
          val.settings.invalidHandler = onGroupedErrors;
          $form.data('validator', val)
          if (val.settings.invalidHandler === onGroupedErrors) alert("Correctly Assigned!");
      });

  The 'onGroupedErrors' function works when I edit the standard 'jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js' file and replace 'onErrors'.

  Can anyone advise on what I'm doing wrong?

  sorry the bind is done in the init. just

  $('form').each(function() {
      $(this).unbind("invalid-form.validate"); // remove old handler
      $(this).bind("invalid-form.validate",function(f,v) {
      });
  });

  Yes I believe this will work because jQuery validate plugin added the invalidHandler directly into this event.
