jquery : submitting a form twice

Question

I\'m creating a registration form for a client for an event they\'re hosting. The basic user details are submitted to a third-party system (ie name, email etc.) but the rest

Answer 1

Do you have a reason to have to utilize the submit-method? The reason it enter an infinite loop is because it invokes the same submit event listener again.

If not, you can just queue two ajax-submits, one to the e-mail page, and again to the client.

Finally, you can unbind the event listener. A little known way to unbind an event listener is to pass in the event object to the unbind-call. This will unbind only the current event listener:

$('#form1').submit(function(e){
    if(myvalidator.isValid()){
$form = $('#form1');
$.ajax({
    data: $form.serialize(),
               type: "POST",
               url: "email_send.asp",
               success: function(){
                 $form.unbind(e).submit();
               }
             });
    }
    return false;
});
