I designed a form (using Ajax.BeginForm method) for POST and GET dual purposes. Default HTTP method is GET. I am

 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("action", "Home",
    null,
    new AjaxOptions
    {
        InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
        UpdateTargetId = "updateArea",
        HttpMethod = "Get",
    }){
       /* Form fields,*/
       <input id="Add" type="button" value="Add" /> 
       <input id="Search" type="submit" value="Search" /> 
    }

How do I validate the form only when the form is posting (for instance $.post or $.ajax({type:'POST'}))?

use [jquery validation](https://jqueryvalidation.org/) – webdevanuj Jul 11 '16 at 19:11
@AnujKhandelwal any non-plugin solutions? Also I don't want validation when the form is GETting – Dylan Czenski Jul 11 '16 at 19:17
Do you want this validation client-side or server-side? – neilsimp1 Jul 11 '16 at 19:27
@neilsimp1 Client side – Dylan Czenski Jul 11 '16 at 20:00
@DylanChensky You might look at putting a `beforeSend` function in [ajaxSetup](http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajaxSetup/), check if it's a POST request, and if so, validate. – neilsimp1 Jul 12 '16 at 12:52
