How to stop form submit during ajax call

Question

I can only modify the code in the ajax call. The ajax call occurs when I click the submit in form named $(\'#form1\').

$(\'#form1\').submit(func

Assuming the form's ID is #form1, you could bind a submit handler and return false from it:

$.ajax({
  url:'some.php',
  type:'POST',
  data:somedata,
  success:function(msg){
    if(!msg){
     $('#form1').submit(function(){
       return false; // prevents form submit
     });
    }
  }
 })
