How to implement previously declared jquery.validate rules on dynamically added form fields [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Validate dynamic field jquery
(2 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have to clone the certain section of form and have to implement same validation rules defined previously.
As I researched on this issue, almost all them recommended to add new rules again in the newly generated elements. So, I had tried by adding new rule with following code
let $contactItem = $(".contact")
.first()
.clone()
.insertAfter($(".contact").last());
$contactItem.find("input").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required : true,
messages : { required : 'field is required.' }
});
});
But my bad luck, this technique did not solve my issue. So I am looking for another solution for it.
Some details on library I am using:
jQuery v1.9.1
jQuery Validation Plugin v1.17.0
$(document).ready(function() {
let $validator;
$("#btnAddNew")
.off("click")
.on("click", function() {
let $contactItem = $(".contact")
.first()
.clone()
.insertAfter($(".contact").last());
});
$validator = $("#contactForm").validate({
rules: {
firstName: {
required: true
},
lastName: {
required: true
}
},
messages: {
firstName: {
required: "* Required"
},
lastName: {
required: "* Required"
}
},
ignore: ":hidden, :disabled"
});
$("#btnSave")
.off("click")
.on("click", function() {
if ($validator.form()) {
console.log("ok");
}
});
});

Just adding required to the elements is probably the simplest solution and modify the default message.
I've also commented out an approach for setting class rules.
Note you also need to modify the names in order for them to be unique. I've used very simple incremental logic , modify if you will be adding and removing
$.extend($.validator.messages, {
required: "* required."
})
// Alternate using class rules
/*jQuery.validator.addClassRules("name-field", {
required: true
});*/
$(document).ready(function() {
let $validator;
$("#btnAddNew")
.off("click")
.on("click", function() {
let $contact = $(".contact");
let $contactItem = $contact
.first()
.clone()
.insertAfter($(".contact").last());
// increment input names
$contactItem.find('input').attr('name', function(_, curr) {
return curr + $contact.length
});
});
$validator = $("#contactForm").validate();
$("#btnSave")
.off("click")
.on("click", function() {
if ($validator.form()) {
console.log("ok");
}
});
});

Form validation using Jquery plugin and additional methods

I want to use the jquery plugin for validating my form with letters only in name section. such that when a user enters special characters or numbers it gives an error. Also i want to check the form validation as the users types the information i.e. realtime validation before submitting the form.
//jquery validation
// Wait for the DOM to be ready
$(function() {
// Initialize form validation on the registration form.
// It has the name attribute "registration"
$("form[name='book']").validate({
// Specify validation rules
rules: {
// The key name on the left side is the name attribute
// of an input field. Validation rules are defined
// on the right side
fname: {
required: true,
lettersonly: true
},
lname:{
required: true,
lettersonly: true
},
email: {
required: true,
// Specify that email should be validated
// by the built-in "email" rule
email: true
},
// Specify validation error messages
messages: {
fname: {
required:"Please enter your firstname",
lettersonly:"Letters allowed only"
},
lname: {
required:"Please enter your firstname",
lettersonly:"Letters allowed only"
},
email: "Please enter a valid email address"
},
// Make sure the form is submitted to the destination defined

I want to use the jquery plugin for validating my form with letters only in name section. such that when a user enters special characters or numbers it gives an error

var RegEx = /^[a-zA-Z\s]*$/;
if (RegEx.test($('#input').val())) {
}
else {
$('#input').val("");
}
});​````
You have to wrap all the input elements in <form></form> and use jquery Validate plugin. Refer this link: http://jqueryvalidation.org/validate/ for detailed explanation

How about doing something like this?

Jquery validator moves input field

I've got three fields inline and one of them is a inpt field, this is how it look like when they are validated
https://ibb.co/X8c1jDZ
the problem is when I enter some values into the input fiedl then it moves all the other fields as you can see from the image
https://ibb.co/Fn666cw
I believe something is wrong with the way I unhighlight the field once has been filled but not sure, maybe someone can help me. Please let me know if you need more details. many thanks

This is not a serious problem, I think, you just have to think of the changes of the layout, and prepare for them in your CSS.
Here's an example of what's happening:
(You can find a short explanation at the bottom of the answer.)
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".modify").on('click', function(e) {
// $.fn.toggle() switches between display: none and
// display: block
$('#il3').find('label').toggle()
})
})
.inputandlabel {
float: left;
}
input[type="text"],
label {
display: block;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary modify">Just push it to see the problem</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div id="il1" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form1">Form1</label>
<input id="form1" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il2" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form2">Form2</label>
<input id="form2" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il3" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form3">Form3</label>
<input id="form3" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il4" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form4">Form4</label>
<input id="form4" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il5" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form5">Form5</label>
<input id="form5" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il6" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form6">Form6</label>
<input id="form6" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here's a solution:
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".modify").on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault()
if ($('#il3').find('label').css('visibility') !== 'hidden') {
$('#il3').find('label').css('visibility', 'hidden')
} else {
$('#il3').find('label').css('visibility', 'visible')
}
})
})
.inputandlabel {
float: left;
}
input[type="text"],
label {
display: block;
}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary modify">Just push it to see "nothing"</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div id="il1" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form1">Form1</label>
<input id="form1" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il2" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form2">Form2</label>
<input id="form2" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il3" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form3">Form3</label>
<input id="form3" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il4" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form4">Form4</label>
<input id="form4" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il5" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form5">Form5</label>
<input id="form5" type="text" />
</div>
<div id="il6" class="inputandlabel">
<label for="form6">Form6</label>
<input id="form6" type="text" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You can see from the two snippets, that by setting display: none; on the label scrambles the layout. display: none; takes the element out of the flow (not the DOM itself, but from the object flow), while visibility: hidden; just makes the element invisible. Quite a difference, isn't it?
So, setting the display CSS property to none "removes the height" that kept your layout in order - try setting the elements visibility to hidden with JS.
If that's not working, then give the form-group a fixed height (the height with success / error message), and don't change that value on success / error.

Required field validation on group of text box Not working

I want to apply required field validation on text box group in which at least one text box group must contain value.
in bellow image, details of at least one bank must be filled.
I have used jquery-form-validator plugin from http://www.formvalidator.net/#custom-validators and created custome validator as bellow, but Its not working.
$("#txtBankDetails")
.valAttr('error-msg', 'select atlest 1 bankname.');
$.formUtils.addValidator({
name: 'data-text-group',
validatorFunction: function (value, $el, config, language, $form) {
debugger
var isValid = true,
// get name of element. since it is a checkbox group, all checkboxes will have same name
elname = $el.attr('data-text-group'),
// get checkboxes and count the checked ones
$textBoxes = $('input[type=textbox][data-text-group^="' + elname + '"]', $form),
nonEmptyCount = $textBoxes.filter(function () {
return !!this.value;
}).length;
alert(nonEmptyCount);
if (nonEmptyCount == 0) {
isValid = false;
}
}
});
// Setup form validation only on the form having id "registration"
$.validate({
form: '#registration',
modules: 'date, security, file, logic',
validateOnBlur: true,
showHelpOnFocus: true,
addSuggestions: true,
onModulesLoaded: function () {
console.log('All modules loaded!');
},
onSuccess: function ($form) {
form.submit();
alert("sucess")
return false;
},
onError: function () {
alert("Error")
}
});

Jquery Validate Form issue while split by 2 screen

I'm using the JQuery validate for my contact form. It was a single page form. But right now its split by 2 set. First set has few fields with a continue button. Then second set will be given by continue button. The continue btn validating without an issue. But it doesn't give the alert like the final submit btn.
Can you help me to resolve this

You have a couple issues that could break the expected behavior of the jQuery Validate plugin...
$("#contact").validate({
ignore: ":hidden",
onclick: false,
onfocusout: false,
onsubmit: true, // <- NEVER set to 'true'
onkeyup: false,
onkeydown: false, // <- No such thing
....
There is absolutely no such thing called onkeydown. Please refer to the documentation for all available options.
The onsubmit option must never be set to true as this breaks the built-in onsubmit function. This option can only be set to false or an over-riding function. If you want to keep the default submit functionality un-altered, then you must remove the onsubmit option from your .validate() method.
See: jqueryvalidation.org/validate/#onsubmit
"Set to false to use only other events for validation.
Set to a Function to decide for yourself when to run validation.
A boolean true is not a valid value".
The continue btn validating without an issue. But it doesn't give the alert like the final submit btn.
As far as your issue, you need to look at your JavaScript error console.
ReferenceError: Can't find variable: submitted
I removed the if (submitted) conditional within showErrors and got your "next" button working...
