I need to validate a form with jQuery. I can check all my inputs one by one, but it's not a very practical solution.
How can i check if all my inputs are non-empty more efficiently? In my form i can have input elements of different types: text, several groups of radio, select etc.
Use each:
var isValid;
$("input").each(function() {
var element = $(this);
if (element.val() == "") {
isValid = false;
}
});
However you probably will be better off using something like jQuery validate which IMO is cleaner.
Like this:
if ($('input[value=""]').length > 0) {
console.log('some fields are empty!')
}
I just wanted to point out my answer since I know for loop is faster then $.each loop
here it is:
just add class="required" to inputs you want to be required and then in jquery do:
$('#signup_form').submit(function(){
var fields = $('input.required');
for(var i=0;i<fields.length;i++){
if($(fields[i]).val() != ''){
//whatever
}
}
});
$('input').each(function() {
if ($(this).val() != '') {
console.log('all inputs filled');
}
else{
console.log('theres an empty input');
return false
}
});
you might want to wrap this in a keyup function
$('#form_submit_btn').click(function(){
$('input').each(function() {
if(!$(this).val()){
alert('Some fields are empty');
return false;
}
});
});
var isValid = true;
$("#tabledata").find("#tablebody").find("input").each(function() {
var element = $(this);
if (element.val() == "") {
isValid = false;
}
else{
isValid = true;
}
});
console.log(isValid);
You can do it.here is code

You can achive this with Regex and Replace or with just trimming.
Regex example:
if ($('input').val().replace(/[\s]/, '') == '') {
alert('Input is not filled!');
}
With this replace() function you replace white spaces with nothing (removing white spaces).
Trimming Example:
if ($('input').val().trim() == '') {
alert('Input is not filled!');
}
trim() function removes the leading and trailing white space and line terminator characters from a string.
