Can Webflow block the triggering of a form validation script in jqueryvalidation.org if it is properly linked and called?

Webflow provides a built-in form validation feature that allows you to validate form input fields without the need for external scripts like jqueryvalidation.org. However, if you still want to use jqueryvalidation.org for form validation purposes, you can do so in Webflow.

To ensure that Webflow does not interfere with the form validation script, you need to follow these steps:

1. Add the jqueryvalidation.org script: First, make sure you have properly linked and called the jqueryvalidation.org script in your Webflow project. This typically involves adding the script tag to your project's custom code section or using an external script hosting service.

2. Disable Webflow's built-in form validation: Webflow's built-in form validation may conflict with the jqueryvalidation.org script if they are both active at the same time. To disable Webflow's form validation, you can add a custom attribute to your form element. Add the attribute data-form-mode="html5" to instruct Webflow to skip its default validation.

3. Modify the form behavior: You may need to modify the behavior of your form to prevent Webflow from interfering with the jqueryvalidation.org script. One way to achieve this is by changing the form's submission action to prevent Webflow's default form submission behavior. You can do this by adding a custom JavaScript code in your Webflow project that prevents the default form submission event. For example:

$('form').submit(function(e) {  e.preventDefault();});

By following these steps, you should be able to use jqueryvalidation.org for form validation in Webflow without any interference from Webflow's built-in form validation. Remember to test your form thoroughly to ensure that the validation is working as expected.

In conclusion, Webflow can block the triggering of a form validation script like jqueryvalidation.org if it is properly linked and called by disabling Webflow's built-in form validation and modifying the form behavior.
