Using the remote function of jquery validation

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how I can turn this:

$(\'#username\').blur(function(){
    $.post(\'register/isUsernameAvailable\', 
           {\"username\":$(\'#         


        

Answer 1

Well I dunno bout your plugin concept specifically but I gather you want it to check to see with that plugin if the username is greater than 6 or less than 12. Which from your core example with jQuery without the plugin it would be as simple as adding one little if-else to the concept.

$('#username').blur(function(){
    if($('#username').val().length < 6 || $('#username').val().length > 12)
    {
        alert('Username must be between 6 and 12 characters');
    }
    else
    {
       $.post('register/isUsernameAvailable', 
              {"username":$('#username').val()}, 
              function(data){
                  if(data.username == "found"){
                      alert('username already in use');
                  }
              }, 'json');
    }
});
