How to manually trigger validation with jQuery validate?
That library seems to allow validation for single elements. Just associate a click event to your button and try the following:
$("#myform").validate().element("#i1");
Examples here:

Trigger jQuery Validation Manually?
$("#myButton").click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
if($("#myform").valid()){
// the form is valid, do something
} else{
// the form is invalid
}
});
Manually Triggering Form Validation using jQuery
You can't trigger the native validation UI (see edit below), but you can easily take advantage of the validation API on arbitrary input elements:
$('input').blur(function(event) {
event.target.checkValidity();
}).bind('invalid', function(event) {
setTimeout(function() { $(event.target).focus();}, 50);
});
The first event fires checkValidity
on every input element as soon as it loses focus, if the element is invalid
then the corresponding event will be fired and trapped by the second event handler. This one sets the focus back to the element, but that could be quite annoying, I assume you have a better solution for notifying about the errors. Here's a working example of my code above.
EDIT: All modern browsers support the reportValidity()
method for native HTML5 validation, per this answer.
jQuery validate force re-validation
As it turns out you call .valid()
instead of .validate()
:
$('.pca-form').valid(); // this re-validates all fields
Manually triggered Abide validation in Zurb Foundation
You can dispatch a change event to the form with jQuery: $("#myForm").trigger("change");
It will trigger validation.
How to force a html5 form validation without submitting it via jQuery
To check whether a certain field is valid, use:
$('#myField')[0].checkValidity(); // returns true|false
To check if the form is valid, use:
$('#myForm')[0].checkValidity(); // returns true|false
If you want to display the native error messages that some browsers have (such as Chrome), unfortunately the only way to do that is by submitting the form, like this:
var $myForm = $('#myForm');
if (!$myForm[0].checkValidity()) {
// If the form is invalid, submit it. The form won't actually submit;
// this will just cause the browser to display the native HTML5 error messages.
$myForm.find(':submit').click();
}
Keep in mind that, HTML5 validation is not supported in all browsers till now.
