Form validation with BoostrapValidator

Hi All,

I have created a form like:

Code:

<form action="<to_controller_method>" method="post" id="form">

 
I'm using BootstrapValidator (of course with Bootstrap 3) to validate some fields in this form.

Although I have managed to trigger the validation errors upon a field input error, however when I push the submit button (with no field errors) the form can't be submitted (submit button is being disabled). However, when I update a validated field the form is submitted.

I wonder why the form can't be submitted when the submit button is being pushed for the first time.

@cifan,

I have run into a problem similar to this one and I had to go through each input field until I found the one that was throwing the error.

Is it possible to see more code? What validated field must you update in order for the form to be submitted?

@php_rocs

The form is:

Code:

<form action="<?php echo site_url('contact/contact_form'); ?>" method="post" id="testform">
<br /><br />
    <div class="card">
        <div class="card-header">Personal Info</div>
        <div class="card-body">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <small class="form-text text-muted">First Name</small>
                        <?php echo form_input(array('class'=>'form-control', 'id'=>'first_name', 'name'=>'first_name'));?>
                    </div>
                    <small class="form-text text-muted">Gender</small>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <?php echo form_dropdown('gender', array('Male'=>'Male', 'Female'=>'Female'), 'Male', 'class="form-control" id="gender"');?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <small class="form-text text-muted">Email</small>
                        <?php echo form_input(array('class'=>'form-control', 'id'=>'email', 'name'=>'email'));?>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <small class="form-text text-muted">Last Name</small>
                        <?php echo form_input(array('class'=>'form-control', 'id'=>'last_name', 'name'=>'last_name','size'=>25));?>
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <small class="form-text text-muted">Phone</small>
                        <?php echo form_input(array('class'=>'form-control', 'id'=>'phone', 'name'=>'phone', 'size'=>25));?>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        <button type="submit" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary pull-left">Submit Form</button>
    </div>
    </div>
</form>

and the validation is

Code:

    // Form Validation
    $('#testform').bootstrapValidator({
      message: 'This value is not valid',
      feedbackIcons: {
          valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
          invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
          validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
      },
      fields: {
          first_name: {
              message: 'The username is not valid',
              validators: {
                  notEmpty: {
                      message: 'The username is required and cannot be empty'
                  },
                  stringLength: {
                      min: 6,
                      max: 30,
                      message: 'The username must be more than 6 and less than 30 characters long'
                  },
                  regexp: {
                      regexp: /^[a-zA-Z0-9_]+$/,
                      message: 'The username can only consist of alphabetical, number and underscore'
                  }
              }
          },
          email: {
              validators: {
                  notEmpty: {
                      message: 'The email is required and cannot be empty'
                  },
                  emailAddress: {
                      message: 'The input is not a valid email address'
                  }
              }
          }
      }
    });
});

When I update the email field, then the form can be submitted.
