i have a problem with jquery validate (v. 1.11.1) that is driving me insane... I have the following contact form (i'm using bootstrap):
<form class="form-horizontal" id="contact-form" name="contact-form" role="form" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="">
<fieldset>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-10 controls">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="email" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Email</label>
<div class="col-sm-10 controls">
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Email">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="message" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Message</label>
<div class="col-sm-10 controls">
<textarea class="form-control" rows="7" id="message" name="message"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-lg pull-right">Send</button>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
This is my validation code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contact-form').validate(
{
rules: {
name: {
minlength: 2,
required: true
},
email: {
required: true,
email: true
},
message: {
minlength: 2,
required: true
}
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {},
highlight: function(element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-success').addClass('has-error');
},
success: function(element) {
$(element).closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-error').addClass('has-success');
}
});
});
The problem is that the success function doesn't add the "has-success" class. The success function is fired (i tried putting an alert() in it). The error class is being added correctly.
I have tried to specify the success class with: validClass: "has-success" but this adds the class to the input, while i need to add it to the parent .form-group
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
