Scoping validators
Validating forms on submit is all nice and swell, but what if your form has several buttons - only one or a few of which should trigger validation? An example could be a processes with Next, Previous and Cancel buttons - only the next button should probably trigger validation.
Validatious can scope validation to specific buttons only. By adding the class
name "action" to the <input type="submit" />, only the
buttons with this class name will trigger validation.
The class name can be changed through v2.Form.actionButtonClass.
More on configuring Validatious.
v2.Form.actionButtonClass = 'do-validate';
Example
The following example shows how you can add a next, previous and cancel buttons to a form and use the class name to make only the next button trigger validation.
Try clicking the next button to see the validation kick in - then click previous or cancel to see the form submit even if the fields are invalid.
