hi all,

i have a jquery validate setup on the form. while the form is being filled out, i ajax 2 of the field values to see if the form is acceptable or not, and as a result disable/enable the submit button of the form.

it seems like as a result - the form is prematurely validated - which should only happen when the submit button is hit.

can anyone suggest a fix?

thanks!

Here is my jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/7S9W3/" rel="nofollow - http://jsfiddle.net/7S9W3/

PS - my form is actually much longer than in the sample i setup - that's why i check the 2 values while the form is still being filled out.
