I am using the bootstrap framework for my form validation but I also am trying to trigger a success callback using Ajax and Coldfusion.
CFMAIL gets processed OK in the mail.cfm file that I am using, however I also need the mail.cfm file to respond an encoded JSON, such as { "result": "ok" } or { "result": "error" }.
Currently it doesn't respond anything (The current response is empty) therefore $.ajax() isn't triggering the success callback.
Any ideas?
<script>
// <![CDATA[
<!--
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#addSurveyForm').formValidation({
// I am validating Bootstrap form
framework: 'bootstrap',
// Feedback icons
icon: {
valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
},
// List of fields and their validation rules
fields: {
name: {
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'The name is required and cannot be empty'
}
}
}, // End of name
} // End of fields
}) // End of validating form
.on('success.form.fv', function(e) {
// Prevent form submission
e.preventDefault();
// Some instances you can use are
var $form = $(e.target), // The form instance
fv = $(e.target).data('formValidation'); // FormValidation instance
// Send all form data to back-end
$.ajax({
url: 'mail.cfm',
type: 'POST',
data: $form.serialize(),
dataType: 'json'
})
.done(function(response) {
// Clear the form
$form.formValidation('resetForm', true);
// Show the message
response.result === 'error'
? $('#alertContainer')
.removeClass('alert-success')
.addClass('alert-warning')
.html('Sorry, cannot send the message')
.show()
: $('#alertContainer')
.removeClass('alert-warning')
.addClass('alert-success')
.html('Your message has been successfully sent')
.show();
});
});
}); // End of script

mail.cfm:
<cfmail>
.......
</cfmail>
<cfset myStruct =
{ "result": "ok" }
/>
<cfscript>
result = serializeJSON(myStruct);
writeOutput(result);
</cfscript>
