Validation of requied input before moving to next page #37
Description
Not sure why it doesn't validate the current page required, etc... entries prior to moving to next page? Is there a hook or something to enable this feature...otherwise this wizard is kind of just a novel concept, but doesn't help the user much?

Validation is completely in your hands as a developer, so you can use any library you wish.
You can stop progression between steps by hooking into the events and using either
event.preventDefault();orreturn false;.dominicbarnes commentedon Jun 3, 2013
I'm working on a set of new examples, including one to demonstrate the use of the validation plugin in conjunction with jWizard.
That branch also includes a small bugfix via b7000d3 for step transitions.

you are validating on stepHide. How can I validate only on Next button click? I could not get events to work
dominicbarnes commentedon Sep 10, 2013
The
stephide(case-sensitive) event is triggered when the next button is clicked, cancelling that event causes the current step to remain active.If you need help with some actual code, perhaps create a gist or something and I can help you out better that way.

Right now the event gets called on previous or cancel or click on menu item
on the left. I tweaked next function to trigger step next

So, are you saying there's some sort of bug? Can you post some code (either here or in a gist) to help clarify?

here is the gist: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6518048

Ok, I think I understand the problem now. You're saying that the validation is running regardless of whether next/previous is clicked, so if the form is invalid the user can't go back.
I think the ideal solution here is to include the indexes of the steps involved in the event handler arguments. Using this data, you can compare the indexes to see if we're going forward (next) or backward. (previous) I'll make sure to mention this issue number in the commit so it automatically shows up here.

Is there a patch somewhere that allows me to differentiate between Previous and Next in the stephide event handler?
