the submit button can trigger the submitHandler,.. i want to submit a form without refreshing so I use this. but it only activates when i use the submit button.. I put onclick="document.ShareIndividually.submit();" in my checkboxes but the page refreshes when submitting a form..

<script src="SpryAssets/SpryCollapsiblePanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryTabbedPanels.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jQuery v1.7.2 jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="jQuery validation plug-in 1.7.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

$(document).ready(function(){
		$("#ShareIndividually").validate({
			debug: false,
			rules: {
				name: "required",
				email: {
					required: true,
					email: true
				}
			},
			messages: {
				name: "Please let us know who you are.",
				email: "A valid email will help us get in touch with you.",
			},
			
			submitHandler: function(form){
				// do other stuff for a valid form
				$.post('ShareIndividually.php', $("#ShareIndividually").serialize(), function(data) {
					$('#ShareIndividuallyResults').html(data);
				});
			}
		});
	});

</script>

i use this tutorial to do submitting without refreshing but it uses a submit button to do that what i need is to submit a form by only just checking the checkbox

you can’t submit a form without refreshing the page. that’s how forms work. if you don’t want that, use AJAX, but then you have to fetch and prepare the data to send yourself.
