Form not submitting with AJAX

Question

=====UPDATE AGAIN==== (if anyone cares!) the solution I posted before stopped working for whatever reason. I included a beforeSend in my ajax request and pasted the portion

Answer 1

Try coding in the following format. The logic uses an if/else statement to make the ajax call.

$('form').on('submit', function(e) {
    //If form could not be validated
    if(!validateForm(this)){
       //prevent the form form submitting
        alert("Your form is not valid for submission!");
        e.preventDefault();  
    }
    //else 
    else{
        //form input is valid
        //make the ajax call
        $.ajax({
            type: "post",
            url: "client_config_send2.php",
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            done:  function(data){
                alert("Thank you, we will get back to you shortly");
            }
           });
       }
    });
 });
