Validation is not working properly. Its always shows This field is required. Even if I don't touch this field. Why?
<div class="form-group">
<label class="control-label col-sm-4">Description<span class="required"> * </span></label>
<div class="col-sm-8">
<input type="text" name="name" data-required="1" class="form-control" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="true" aria-describedby="name-error">
<span id="name-error" class="help-block help-block-error">This field is required.</span>
</div>
</div>
You could try adding the name="name" to the label.
Also add for="name" to the label.
Label's "for" attribute is bound to HTML element by element_id.
Remove the class="required" on the label and add required attribute to the input field if is needed.
<label for="element_id">
<input type="text" id="element_id" required>
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>

I've got a simple form which I'm wanting people to join to be put onto a waiting list for my product - but it's not submitting.
My application is being hosted on localhost:3000 and runs absolutely fine. The page renders and you can fill the inputs in.
But when you click 'submit' it does nothing. I've tried doing a few different 'types' of the button, but no luck.
Here's my code:
<section class="waiting-list-section">
<div class="waiting-container">
<div class="waiting-heading">
<h2>Join our waiting list</h2>
</div>
<div class="waiting-inputs">
<label for="fName">Enter your first name</label>
<input type="text" name="fName" value="">
<label for="lName">Enter your surname</label>
<input type="text" name="lName" value="">
<label for="email">Enter your email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" value="">
<button class="waiting-submit-button glow" type="submit" name="submit">Join</button>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Any tips? :-)
You need a form element wrapped around the input elements and the button.
<form>
<label for="fName">Enter your first name</label>
<input type="text" name="fName" value="">
<label for="lName">Enter your surname</label>
<input type="text" name="lName" value="">
<label for="email">Enter your email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" value="">
<button class="waiting-submit-button glow" type="submit" name="submit">Join</button>
</form>
Second approach would be to add an eventListener on the button and when it is clicked, get the values from the inputs and then do whatever you want to do with that data
I have a checkbox button and a Paragraph side-by-side.
It's inline-block and everything is nice... Look:
When I turn my view into responsive, it just drops down a line. Like this:
How do I overcome this issue elegently in CSS without starting build divs around elements and bootstrap the whole deal here? Thanks!
re code; those are 2 columns and both button and paragraph reside in he left column.
EDITED FOR CODE ADDITION:
<div class="row no-pad">
<div class="col-xs-6 left-hand-input">
<!--FORM BEGIN-->
<form class="form-control-static" action="leadGen.php" method="post">
<p>PERSONAL DETAILS</p>
<hr>
<label for="firstName">FIRST NAME:</label><br>
<input name="firstName" id="firstName" type="text"><br>
<label for="email">EMAIL:</label><br>
<input name="email" id="email" type="email">
<p>SHIPMENT ADDRESS</p>
<hr>
<label for="address">ADDRESS:</label><br>
<input name="address" id="address" type="text"><br>
<label for="country">COUNTRY:</label><br>
<input name="country" id="country" type="text"><br>
<label for="zip">ZIP CODE:</label><br>
<input name="zip" id="zip" type="text"><br>
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="SEND">
<p style="display: inline-block; vertical-align: -10px;"> *Required fields</p><br>
<input checked type="checkbox" id="mailingList"/>
<p style="display: inline-block; font-size: 75%;">
Receive exclusive membership deals and offers.</p>
</form>
</div>
</div>
You need to use labels
<label><input type="checkbox" value=" id="mailingList">Receive exclusive membership deals and offers.</label>
Here is the jsfiddle demo: https://jsfiddle.net/o4qgu4gv/2/
You should also consider using col-sm-6 instead of col-xs-6 because it may look nice on an iPhone 4 screen
if it is for the checkbox or any input type tag in particular then a more suitable choice would be to use a label tag instead of a paragraph.
You could use label with its for attribute and it should work fine.
<div id="wrapper">
<input type="checkbox" id="btn"> check
<label for="btn">
this should not shift
</label>
</div>
I am using Bootstrap for creating a simple webpage. When I create a form containing some personal information, like first name, last name, email address, etc. Sometimes I prefer to make 2 control group (first name label & input field, and last name label & input field) in the same row. How can I achieve it ? It's not evident to do it in the Horizontal-form. Thanks for your help !
You can't do that with horizontal form, you must use .form-inline Twitter Bootstrap class.
<form class="form-inline">
<label>First name</label>
<input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="First name"/>
<label>Last name</label>
<input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Last name"/>
</form>

Or, you can do that also in horizontal form, but you must to override many classes and properties, and I'll not recommend that. Better way is to use default Twitter Bootstrap classes for this stuff.
EDIT: You can combine horizontal and inline classes inside one form like this:
<form class="form-inline">
<label>First name</label>
<input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="First name"/>
<label>Last name</label>
<input type="text" class="input-small" placeholder="Last name"/>
<br/><br/><br/>
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputEmail">Email</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="inputEmail" placeholder="Email"/>
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="inputPassword">Password</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="password" id="inputPassword" placeholder="Password"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>

Change the class to make it an inline form:
<form class="form-inline">
...
</form>
Then it's easier to place fields in different rows and columns.
I'm still trying to think up how to re-word this title.
Anyways so I have this contact form on my page here: http://leongaban.com/
When you click in name and fill it out you can then tab to the next field email. After entering in email, it is natural for the user to tab again into the message box.
However for some reason my tab selection jumps all the way up to the top of the page and seems to select my portfolio main nav link. A few more tabs and I'm back down into the message textarea.
This of course is not ideal at all, is there a way I can force the tab selections to go in the correct order? ie: Name > Email > Message > Captcha > Submit
My current form (HTML)
<div class="the-form">
<form id="myForm" action="#" method="post">
<div>
<label for="name">Your Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" tabindex="1">
</div>
<div>
<label for="email">Your Email</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" tabindex="1">
</div>
<div>
<label for="textarea">Message:</label>
</div>
<div>
<textarea cols="40" rows="8" name="message" id="message"></textarea>
</div>
<p><em>Hi, what is 2 + 3?</em></p>
<input type="text" name="captcha" id="captcha" />
<div>
<input class="submit-button" type="submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</form>
</div>
</footer>
You have to number your tabindex in the order you'd like them to go.
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" tabindex="1">
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" tabindex="2">
<textarea cols="40" rows="8" name="message" id="message" tabindex="3"></textarea>
<input type="text" name="captcha" id="captcha" tabindex="4"/>
<input class="submit-button" type="submit" value="Submit" tabindex="5">
etc.
Right now you have two tabindexes set to 1, so they will go first, as they are the only ones with a defined tabindex.
Try utilizing the tabindex property for your input fields. This will let you control the order in which the user can tab through your page elements.
Example code for this can be found here, though you are already setting a tabindex on the name and email inputs. Just add that property to the rest of your inputs and set them in the order you would like.
Is it possible by default make all the fileds in a div class as required fileds. I have a form and inside the form i have a div class.. why i am using the div class is by defalut the div class is hidden and when i clicked on some check box it will be visible. SO i need all the elements in the div class should be required filed. I was trying required="required" on all the elements but it is not working. Any one has idea?
Here is my html
<div class="downtime" id="downtime" style="display: none" >
<label> name </label>
<input required="required" type="text" name="name><br>
<label> age </label>
<input required="required type="text" name="age><br>
</div>
</form>
Any help will be appreciated
Syntax highlighting - probably the greatest tool at any coder's disposal. (It's even on Stack Overflow!)
<div class="downtime" id="downtime" style="display: none" >
<label> name </label>
<input required="required" type="text" name="name><br>
<label> age </label>
<input required="required type="text" name="age><br>
</div>
</form>
Attributes are red and their values are blue. So it should look more like this:
<div class="downtime" id="downtime" style="display: none" >
<label> name </label>
<input required="required" type="text" name="name" /><br>
<label> age </label>
<input required="required" type="text" name="age" /><br>
</div>
</form>
and FYI the required attribute doesn't need a value:
<input type="text" name="age" required />
Change your code as follow:
<input type="text" name="name" required>
and
<input name="age" required>
Just writing "required" make your fields as required. It works only in HTML5. So put it before html tag starts.
if you want to use html5 you can do it with required(this only works on browsers that support html5), if not use a jquery plugin for validation like this:
