Enable Your Submit Button Only When All Fields Are Valid with jQuery

When building a form on your Bootstrap portal, ensuring that users properly complete all necessary fields before submission is crucial. It enhances user experience and data quality. However, if you're using jQuery, you might face an issue where the submit button gets enabled prematurely—allowing users to submit forms even when not all required fields are valid. In this post, we’ll explore how to ensure the submit button only activates when all form fields have the class is-valid.

The Problem

You have two separate forms in your application, each beginning with their submit button disabled. You’re correctly validating input fields using the on('input', function () {} method and adding an is-valid class to valid fields. However, the current implementation enables the submit button as soon as one field gets the is-valid class, regardless of whether all fields are valid or not.

Here’s a snippet of the problematic code you might be using:

The code above checks if any single input field has the is-valid class, leading to the submit button becoming enabled even if the rest of the form is not valid.

The Solution

To address this issue, you need to ensure the submit button only enables when every input field in a form has the is-valid class. Here's a clearer and more effective approach to implement this logic:

Step 1: Select the Forms and Inputs

Start by selecting both forms and their input fields. It’s essential to keep track of the total number of inputs in each form so you can validate against that number.

Step 2: Monitor Input Changes

Use the keyup event to monitor changes in any form field's input. Each time a user types in or interacts with a field, you will check if all fields are valid.

Step 3: Check Validity and Update Submit Button

Using the .length method, compare the count of valid fields with the total number of fields. If they match, enable the submit button.

Here’s the updated working code:

Points to Consider

Dynamic Fields: If the number of input fields varies, you may want to programmatically determine how many fields are in each form instead of hardcoding numbers.

Form Reset: Consider resetting or recalibrating the button’s state if a field is changed back to a non-valid state.

User Feedback: Provide immediate visual feedback (like a tooltip or color change) when the submit button is enabled to enhance user experience.

Conclusion

Implementing proper form validation is critical for effective data collection and user interactions. By following the recommended approach, you empower users to only submit forms once all required fields are valid, improving both functionality and user experience.
