Gravity Forms validation will only happen after the form is submitted. There are quite a few discussions online for jQuery validation: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=jquery+validation" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=jquery+validation</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/simple-ajax-test#post-104550 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 13:23:48 +0000 gimlet 104550@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks, that does appear to work. I was hoping for a more elegant solution where I don't need to submit the form prior to validating. An ability to add an extra 'Validate this field' button would be ideal. If there's no chance of that, let me know and I'll stick to the validation after submission approach. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/simple-ajax-test#post-103815 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 01:40:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 103815@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think you will have to use the gform_validation hook to accept the input from the user, query your JSON service, then compare the result and return a validation error if the response is not Yes.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_validation</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/simple-ajax-test#post-103017 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:09:40 +0000 gimlet 103017@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've got a very simple JSON service running on my site where you ask /service?foo=bar and get back a response of {"response":"Yes"} or {"response":"No"}.</p> <p>I'd like an input field that allows my users to specify a value for 'foo' and a button that makes the request to /service with the value, and displays the response to the user. If the response is Yes, the value for 'foo' needs to be validated and the user allowed to submit the form.</p> <p>Is this possible with hooks and if so, how do I set it up? Thanks! </p>
