Hi guys,

I’ve downloaded the liveValidation JavaScript from  
[www.livevalidation.com](http://www.livevalidation.com).

I found that the remote\_form\_for does not work with the js. The  
necessary AJAX code in the “onsubmit” part of the tag is missing  
**Sometimes**

yes, it’s sometimes:

1.a save button onclick=“submit button.click” - ajax ok mostly  
1.b save button onclick=“submit button.click” - ajax failed sometimes  
unless I using prototype to observe some other control (e.g.  
$(‘othercontrol’).observer(‘click’, test))  
2. save button onclick=“form.submit” - ajax work but nothing can be Get.

All in all, the remote\_form\_for is probably affected by the validation’s  
JS event.

Is it a known bug or what cannot be done together with the  
remote\_form\_for?

Thanks much  
Arthur
