Bootstrap form validation changing success and error colors
Solution 1
There is a CSS selector for this purpose (:invalid
), but on the individual input level. You can color the whole form by checking for children which are invalid, like so:
/* add space to denote child element */
form :invalid {
background: red;
}
Solution 2
For Bootstrap, just add has-error
class to form group.
<div class="form-group has-error">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="name">Name</label>
<div class="col-md-5">
<input id="name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="Enter Name" class="form-control input-md" required="">
</div>
</div>

This is my form, i want the form to change colors when errors/something occurs.
Example, if a user did not input anything in a required field,
i want it to change colors using bootstrap's css classes, can anyone teach me how i could make that happen?
p.s. i am new, so sorry for a newbie question.<form class="form-horizontal"> <fieldset> <!-- Form Name --> <legend>Form Name</legend> <!-- Text input--> <div class="form-group"> <label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="name">Name</label> <div class="col-md-5"> <input id="name" name="name" type="text" placeholder="Enter Name" class="form-control input-md" required=""> </div> </div> <!-- Password input--> <div class="form-group"> <label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="password">Password</label> <div class="col-md-5"> <input id="password" name="password" type="password" placeholder="Enter Password" class="form-control input-md" required=""> </div> </div> <!-- Button --> <div class="form-group"> <label class="col-md-4 control-label" for="button"></label> <div class="col-md-4"> <input type = "submit" id="button" name="button" value = "Submit" class="btn btn-success"> </div> </div> </fieldset> </form>
