livevalidation.js custom username check function-Collection of common programming errors

i am having the same issue. Ive found the following, http://forum.jquery.com/topic/ajax-return-value-on-success-or-error-with-livevalidation but have not been able to get it working. BUT YES! At this very moment i made som (crappy) javascript addon that made it behave, i think 🙂

This is what i use.

 function check_avail(name, id, postUrl) { var dataVal = name+'='+$(id).val(); var isaccepted = '' $(id).next('div').remove(); $(id).after("
Undersøger om "+name+" er ledigt");

       $.ajax({
          url: postUrl,
          cache: false,
          type: 'post',
          dataType: 'json',
          data: dataVal,
          async:  false,
          success: function(data) {
             if( data.success == 'true' )
             {
                $('#'+name+'-availability').remove();
                //return false;
           isaccepted = false;
             }

             if( data.success == 'false' )
             {
                $('#'+name+'-availability').remove();
    //            name.destroy();
            isaccepted = true;
             }
          }

       });

    if (isaccepted == false) {
    return false;   
    } else{
    return true
    };

    }

And

    f1.add( Validate.Custom, { against: function() {
     return check_avail( 'brugernavn', '#ft001', 'usernamecheck.asp' ); 
    }, failureMessage: 'Brugernavnet er optaget' } );

Hope it helps you 🙂 The json query you can read about on the link in the begining 🙂 (I am not at all skilled at javascript, and the “isaccepted” solution could problalby be made a lot better)
