initSubmit not firing for Editor

Liekar

I have several Editors in my app and each does client-side validation of the user-entered values.

The validation is done in "initSubmit" event handlers. They are simple validations such as enforcing that a value had been entered.

The validation was working fine and suddenly stopped working. I am confident that I had not changed the event handler (checked the history in git).

I added some debugging code and it seems that the initSubmit event is not firing at all.

But I did just purchase an Editor license ( I had been using the trial). I downloaded it and am now using v1.8.0. I am using DataTables v 1.10.15

I did not download any other components, just dataTables.editor.js and dataTables.editor.min.js The other components I am using were just downloaded within the last few weeks.

Could this be an issue? Did something change in the latest Editor?

My apologies, initSubmit does seem to be firing. But still, no error is raised. Below is a code sample. I even tried 'if (1 == 1) ...' to be sure the error would be raised.

eqpEditor.on("initSubmit", function (e, data, action) {
var eqpType = this.field('type_of_equipment');

if (eqpType.val() == "" || eqpType.val() == null) {
    eqpType.error('You must enter Type of Equipment.');
}

if (this.inError()) {
    return false;
}

});

I removed all code from the on("initSubmit") leaving just one line - "return false;".

Still it submitted data I had entered and ignored the return false.

Solved: I created two event handlers for every Editor - a preSumbit to validate the user input and an initSubmit perform any calculations or data updates.
