Form validation - hidden input fields

[Nick Carpenter]

Hi there,

I have a form that I'm trying to validate with Semantic UI.  In this form I have fields that are not visible (which are only shown if a user selects certain options).

Semantic UI is trying to validate these hidden fields along with everything else - which I don't want. I just need any visible fields to be validated.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

Many thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick,

can you please send your code?

First impression: you need to adapt the validation rules

Pls. check this out http://semantic-ui.com/behaviors/form.html

On my side, I tend to use an ajax call and perform the validation on the server.

I feel that it better keeps all the business logic together.

I have the very same problem, semantic is literally validation every single field in the form whether it's visible or not, and the docs do not show a way neither to implement such a specific validation or to adapt any sort existing of validation to ignore non-visible form fields.

Has anyone found any way to accomplish this or knows of an article or something addressing this problem?

Hi David,

Sorry for the hugely late reply!  I did find a way to accomplish this eventually - but not in the way I thought I might.

Semantic-UI only validates form fields that are not disabled, so I just made sure that and hidden fields (or fields that became hidden as the user interacts with the form) have the 'disabled' property set to true using jquery.

Boom. Works a treat!
