Jquery json form processing

JavaScript

Howdy

If this is obvious - please excuse me…

This the the JS

The form is processed - backside php works
but this but does not do what I want…what am I missing?

$(document).ready(function() {
$(“#loginForm”).validate({
errorLabelContainer: “#errorMessage”,
wrapper: “li”,
rules: {
username: “required”,
password: “required”
},
messages: {
username: “Please enter your username.”,
password: “Please enter your password.”
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$.ajax ({
type: ‘post’,
url: ‘auth_user.php’,
dataType: ‘json’,
success: function(json) {
if(json.error === true) {
$(“#errorMessage”).text = json.msg;
} else {
$(location).attr(‘href’,json.url);
}

          },
     });
  }

});
false;
});

You can use the code tags to wrap your code to be viewed better like so:


$(document).ready(function() {
	$("#loginForm").validate({
		errorLabelContainer: "#errorMessage",
		wrapper: "li",
		rules: {
			username: "required",
			password: "required"
		},
		messages: {
			username: "Please enter your username.",
			password: "Please enter your password."
		},
		submitHandler: function(form) {
			$.ajax ({
				type: 'post',
				url: 'auth_user.php',
				dataType: 'json',
				success: function(json) {
					if(json.error === true) {
						$("#errorMessage").text = json.msg;
					} else {
						$(location).attr('href',json.url);
					}
				},
			});
		}
	});
	false;
});

Now, onto your question. (Answers are off the top of my head…)

  1. $(“#errorMessage”).text = json.msg;
    jQuery does this - $(“#errorMessage”).text(json.msg);

  2. You have a false just sitting there, why?

  3. $(location).attr(‘href’,json.url); I believe should be:

window.location = json.url;
