first validate the form using jquery and then if success then call ajax code example
Example: How to call the ajax when form is valid
BY LOVE,
1- $("form").valid() is the main method which is checking the form is valid or not
2- 'btnsave' is the ID of the HTML BUTTON element.
3- Jquery pluggin should be added in this order
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js"></script>
$('#btnSave').click(function () {
if ($("form").valid()) {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost:3932/api/EmployeeService/Save',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
success: function () {
alert('Employee Save successfully');
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert('Error occured');
}
});
}
});
