There’s a problem that us JavaScript authors face that you may not be aware of, and that is that we need to ensure that things keep working even when JavaScript is not available.
To achieve that, you start from the very bedrock basics. A form submits to a php page, and that php page performs the checks, and updates the page.
Once those basics are in place, you can extract the part that performs the checks to a separate file so that it can be included, and also so that you can send an AJAX request to that same file.
The book Bulletproof Ajax is the best one for learning how to do what you want to achieve. The web site also provides all of the [url=“http://bulletproofajax.com/code/”]code and working examples too, of which the Contact Us example from Chapter 6 is a fully working example of the type of technique you wish to use.
