[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom views with form fields

[Richard Hills]

Another follow up / change of question.

I actually do have validation working on my form, however now the 
question is how can I check the form has passed validation in my form 
submit piece? I have altered my form submit to, rather than go straight 
to edit.php post the data to edit.php via an ajax request and I need to 
ensure the validation was passed prior to that.

Thanks
