Find class inside form validation function
Why I am doing it
I have used jquery validation plugin but it doesn't show desired output when used with bootstrap select. Hence trying to create my own optional method.
What I want to do
I want to search the form called by FormValidation function for specific class name across all inputs, select, checkboxes & radio buttons. If class found then I'll do some validation for quality & values & if validation fails then I would include error class after that element only.
I am here to get some help on searching the form called by FormValidation function for specific class name only
What I have tried
I have tried searching classname using following but it's not searching as desired.
function FormValidation()
{
if($(this).hasClass( "fns" ))
{
//do some validations & show validation output
}
}
I also tried to get form id so that I can search elements of form by form id using
$(this).closest("form").attr("id");Please tell me what wrong I am doing here.
<form method="post" class="form-horizontal" id="EMPREG" onSubmit="return FormValidation();" onKeyUp="return FormValidation();">
<input class="form-control fns" type="text" id="Rec_Name" name="Rec_Name" placeholder="Enter Your Name">
<input type="submit" name="Create_Profile" id="Create_Profile" class="btn btn-success btn-md" value="Create Profile"/>
</form>
Js Fiddle for reference https://jsfiddle.net/ttt/cc3r36h0/
The this keyword in your function refers to widow global object.
If you need to code inline events try to pass the this, and event keywords:
<form method="post" class="form-horizontal" id="EMPREG" onSubmit="return FormValidation(this, event);"
onKeyUp="return FormValidation(this, event);">
<input class="form-control fns" type="text" id="Rec_Name" name="Rec_Name" placeholder="Enter Your Name">
<input type="submit" name="Create_Profile" id="Create_Profile" class="btn btn-success btn-md"value="Create Profile"/>
</form>
So your function will be:
function FormValidation(obj, evt)
{
if($(obj).find(".fns").length > 0)
{
//do some validations & show validation output
}
}
