[jQuery] Re: [validate] Using remote w/ data and ASMX doesn't seem to process the response

The plugin expects a JSON true/false response, which you don't
provide. You could set the dataFilter-ajax-option (see
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax#options) to postprocess the
response.

remote: {
url: "webservice...",
dataFilter: function(data) {
return process(data);
}
}
