Hi,

Is there a way to allow conditional submission using the  
form\_remote\_tag. I am trying to prevent form submission if the input  
field in my form is empty.

Since, there is no support for onsubmit in form\_remote\_tag, I am  
looking for an alternative way to do that.

Returning ‘false’ from the :before=somefunc() doesn’t help either.

Any clues…

TIA  
~Shishir
