[jQuery] Re: jQuery Validation - ajax check for email

Fantastic!!!

I got it working.. my first ever ajax request.. :P Thanks Jorn for
this great plugin.

For other readers, have your remote script return "true" or "false" -
no need for JSON.

Here's my working code.
rules:{
email: {
required: true,
email: true,
remote: {
url: "user/checkemail",
type: "post",
data: {
email: function() {
return $("#email").val();
}
}
}
}
