        if(name.val() == ""){

            name.focus();

            $("#signup__error").html("Please Enter Name");

        }else if(email.val() == "" || validateEmail(email.val()) == 0){

            email.focus();

            $("#signup__error").html("Please Enter Email ID");

            $("#signup__error").html("Passwords do not match");

            rpass.val("");

        }else if(country.val() == ""){

            country.focus();

            $("#signup__error").html("Please select your country");

        }else{

            $("#signup__error").html("");

            $.ajax({

                type: "POST",

                url: "registration_process.php",

                data: $("#signup_form").serialize(),

                beforeSend: function(){

                    $("#signup__button").html("Please Wait....");

                    $("#signup__button").prop('disabled', true);

                },

                success: function(data){

                    $("#signup__button").html("REGISTER");

                    $("#signup__button").prop('disabled', false);

                    $(this).val("LOGIN");

                    if(data == "success"){

                        $("#signup__error").html("");

                        $("#signup__error").html("Registration Failed! Try again later."); 

                    }

                }

            });

        }

    });

DESCRIPTION 

  1. Validation for empty field value is performed here. Like :

                 

 if(name.val() == ""){

            name.focus();

            $("#signup__error").html("Please Enter Name");

   }   

 If name field is empty, it will generate error and display the message in signup__error block. In a similar way, validations are performed for other fields as well. Conditions are added according to the requirement. 

  1. $.ajax({ });

  Ajax is used for form submission which means form will be submitted to the server without reloading the whole page content. 

  1. type: "POST",        // HTTP POST METHOD IS USED FOR SUBMISSION

      url: "registration_process.php",    // URL DEFINES WHERE TO POST THE VALUES

      data: $("#signup_form").serialize(),   // DATA CARRIES THE VALUES TO BE POSTED

         These parameters are necessary to mention while form submission.

 

beforeSend: function(){

                     $("#signup__button").html("Please Wait....");

                     $("#signup__button").prop('disabled', true);

                   },

       Here, we have disabled the submit button once it is clicked. It is to avoid unnecessary clicking of submit   

              button again and again, once it is submitted to the server for processing.

success: function(data){

                    $("#signup__button").html("REGISTER");

                    $("#signup__button").prop('disabled', false);

                    $(this).val("LOGIN");

                    if(data == "success"){

                        $("#signup__error").html("");

                        window.location.href = "welcome.php";

                    }else{

                        $("#signup__error").html("Registration Failed! Try again later."); 

                    }

                }

        Here, we have enabled the submit button again after receiving response from the server. If registration is

               successful user is moved to welcome.php otherwise error message is displayed on screen.

                    }

                }

            });

        }

    });

 

DESCRIPTION

 

  1. Validation for empty field value is performed here. Like :

                  if(name.val() == ""){

            name.focus();

            $("#signup__error").html("Please Enter Name");

   }  

 If name field is empty, it will generate error and display the message in signup__error block. In a similar way, validations are performed for other fields as well. Conditions are added according to the requirement.

  

  1. $.ajax({ });

  Ajax is used for form submission which means form will be submitted to the server without reloading the whole page content.

 

  1. type: "POST",        // HTTP POST METHOD IS USED FOR SUBMISSION

      url: "registration_process.php",    // URL DEFINES WHERE TO POST THE VALUES

      data: $("#signup_form").serialize(),   // DATA CARRIES THE VALUES TO BE POSTED

         These parameters are necessary to mention while form submission.

 

  1. beforeSend: function(){

                     $("#signup__button").html("Please Wait....");

                     $("#signup__button").prop('disabled'true);

                   },

       Here, we have disabled the submit button once it is clicked. It is to avoid unnecessary clicking of submit   

              button again and again, once it is submitted to the server for processing.

 

  1. success: function(data){

                    $("#signup__button").html("REGISTER");

                    $("#signup__button").prop('disabled'false);

                    $(this).val("LOGIN");

                    if(data == "success"){

                        $("#signup__error").html("");

                        window.location.href = "welcome.php";

                    }else{

                        $("#signup__error").html("Registration Failed! Try again later."); 

                    }

                }

        Here, we have enabled the submit button again after receiving response from the server. If registration is

               successful user is moved to welcome.php otherwise error message is displayed on screen.
