Re: JQuery save success/error

Is your goal to output some message if they have successfully filled out your form and possibly add a little extra data to the success message?  If so just hide the success message by default, add some selectors that you can populate with the json that's returned on success, and then show the message.

As far as the failure is concerned again have hidden elements on the form that you can select and add the validation messages to.  Or there are also plenty of jQuery validation plugins out there that you could do your validation on the fly using onBlur or onFocus for that matter.

Completely - but how do I render the element as json? As soon as I do $this->render('/elements/whatever'); it's returned as straightforward html.

in both cases return json value and have keys eg. "success" (true/false) and "data". If "success" == true, just "print" data, if "success" == false, than use data as json, and decode that string and print validation errors, or generate string in controller for errors and print it..understand ?

Not an expert at jQuery, but getting there.

I'm submitting data to a controller function that saves a record via ajax. If the save works, I'm rendering an element, which then appears back in the ajax form as html ready to be placed into a dom element. All good - that works fine. But if the save fails I want to return an array that includes the validation errors - that really ought to be json. So on success I want html, on error I want json - and I can't have both.

How do I either (i) render the element but have it returned as json (and ideally tack in a 'success' key that I can check in the jQuery) or (ii) otherwise determine the success/error state when html has been returned to the jQuery?
