    <p>I'm working on this project and am getting stuck with form validation. I have two forms, Form X and Form Y and I wanna use the jQuery validation plugin to implement client-side validation. This is my first time using this plugin, so I apologize in advance if my questions seem rudimentary. I've set up the forms so that the user has to fill in both Form X and Form Y to submit the data in both forms. Once that is done, Form X is submitted through Ajax and Form Y is submitted as a result of a success response. The submission process works fine and all the data is sent through perfectly. However, I cannot get validation to work. I've pored through the documentation and multiple forums but have not been able to find a working solution. Any suggestions or links to relevant literature would be greatly appreciated. Here's the relevant javascript and html:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; $("#formYsubmit").click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); $.ajax({ url: "the resulting page", type: "POST", data: formXdata, error: function(resp) { console.log(resp); }, success: function(resp) { $("#formY").submit(); } }); $(this).disabled=true; $(this).val()="Sending..." return false; }); $('#formX').validate({ rules: { email: { required: true, email: true }, password: { minlength: 6, required: true }, full_name: { required: true }, site_address: { minlength: 5, }, phone: { minlength: 10, phoneRegex: true } }, messages: { email: "Please enter a valid email address", site_address: "Please enter your website name", full_name: "Please enter your name", password: { required: "Please provide a password", minlength: "Your password must be at least 6 characters long" }, phone: "Please enter a valid phone number", email: "Please enter a valid email address" }, highlight: function(label) { $(input).closest('.control-group').addClass('error'); }, success: function(label) { label.text('OK!').addClass('valid'); } }); $('#formY').validate({ rules: { plan_input: { required: true, }, fieldA: { required: true }, fieldB: { required: true }, fieldC: { required: true }, }, highlight: function(label) { $(input).addClass('error'); }, success: function(label) { label.text('OK!').addClass('valid'); } }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;form id="formX" style="float:left; width:40%;" method="post"&gt; &lt;div class="control-group"&gt; &lt;div class="controls"&gt; &lt;input id="full_name" name="full_name" placeholder="Full Name" type="text" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;label class="error"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="control-group"&gt; &lt;div class="controls"&gt; &lt;input class="required" id="email" maxlength="75" name="email" placeholder="Email ID" type="text" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="control-group"&gt; &lt;div class="controls"&gt; &lt;input class="required" id="password" name="password" placeholder="Password" type="password" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;label class="error"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="control-group"&gt; &lt;div class="controls"&gt; &lt;input id="site_address" name="site_address" placeholder="Website" type="text" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;label class="error"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="control-group"&gt; &lt;div class="controls"&gt; &lt;input id="phone" maxlength="25" name="phone" placeholder="Phone" type="text" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;label class="error"&gt;&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;div id="frontServerErrorContainer"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;form id="formY" style="float:left;width:40%;" method="post" action=""&gt; &lt;select name="plan_input" class="field" id="plan-select" disabled&gt; &lt;option value=""&gt;Choose Plan&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;Option A&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;Option B&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;Option C&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;div id="serverErrorContainer2"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="errorContainer2"&gt;&lt;ul id="errorContainer2"&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="sh form-field cl-div control-group" &gt; &lt;input type='text' class="field" name='fieldA' value="" placeholder="fieldA" id="fieldA"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="sh form-field cl-div control-group" &gt; &lt;input type='text' class="field" name='fieldB' value="" placeholder="fieldB" id="fieldB"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="sh form-field cl-div control-group" &gt; &lt;input type='text' class="field" name='fieldC' value="" placeholder="fieldC" id="fieldC"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;button class="bootstrapbtn bootstrapbtn-primary" id="formYsubmit"&gt;Submit&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I apologize for the extremely long snippet of code or if this question is too elementary. Thank you!</p>

    1. COFocus your efforts on the `submitHandler` callback function in the documentation.

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.
