I've already client side validation, with mandatory fields and not mandatory, when there is one mandatory field or more, and this is (these are) empty, post button launches client-side validation errors, and this is fine. When they all aren't mandatory i just need to disable the post button till I insert a value, enabling the post button when i write something. But if i delete the values, i can't detect if the form is empty or not to re-disable the button!</p> <pre><code>$('#form .my_field').each(function() { $(this).data('oldVal', $(this).val()); $(this).bind("propertychange keyup input paste change blur", function(event) { if ($(this).data('oldVal') != $(this).val()) { $('#post_button').button({ disabled: false }); } }); }); </code></pre> <p>with this bind i can detect when i write in a casual form field, but i've no clues how to find if every field is clean. I've tried many roads, but they lead me to dead end. Maybe is a 10-hours programming issue :) I've tried some kind of </p> <pre><code> if ($(this).val()=='') </code></pre> <p>, but for some fields (datapicker for example) does not work (i can have too multiselects ----> :option selected)</p> <p>I suppose i've to bind to the same events to a (if empty set a boolean flag) and check all the boolean flags to determine if they're all true (or false)..any hints?</p>
