    <p>Here is the scenario.</p> <p>A user fills out a form. He forgets some required info. My validation code indicates to the user the missing field is required. He fills out the form fully and submits. Presto it works.</p> <p>Now, the user manually deletes the required field and hits submit again. Presto it works (IT SHOUDLNT). How can I get my validation to work a second time around to prevent empty fields from being submitted? Here is my code. It only works on 1 iteration of a form submit. All subsequent submits ignore my validation.</p> <p>Thank you...</p> <pre><code>//Validation $('#CommentsForm').validate({ rules: { Author: "required", Message: "required" }, messages: { Author: "Author is required.", Message: "Comment is required." }, errorContainer: "#CommentsErrorBox", errorLabelContainer: "#CommentsErrorBox ul", wrapper: "li" }); //User Clicked Submit Button $('#CommentsForm').live('submit', function (e) { e.preventDefault(); //Prevent Browser from getting new url //Create JSON object var jsonCommentData = { ID: $('#HiddenID').val(), Author: $('#Author').val(), Message: $('#Message').val() } //Add the comment. $.ajax({ url: '/Home/_CommentsAdd', type: 'POST', data: JSON.stringify(jsonCommentData), dataType: 'html', contentType: 'application/json', //The request was a success.

    1. COOne problem is that you've wrapped your `.validate()` within a submit handler. The validation plugin already has that built-in and does not need to be inside a submit handler function.

    2. CO@Sparky672 has a good point. I'd like to add you should use the .valid() method.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
