Client side yiiActiveForm('validate')

[leandrogehlen]

Currently does not possible to invoke the method validate unless when i will submitting the form.

Ex:

if (('#myform').yiiActiveForm('validate')) {
    //busness logic
    $('#myform').submitForm();
}

also is there a way to be able to do single attributes validations using js?

I am trying to make a form with this http://vadimg.com/twitter-bootstrap-wizard-example/ right now i am stuck that I need to trigger js validation of the fields when I switch steps which as @leandrogehlen said, is only possible when the form is submitted.

@Faryshta yes.

$('form').yiiActiveForm('validateAttribute', 'contactform-name')`.

$('#contact-form').data('yiiActiveForm').submitting = true;
$('#contact-form').yiiActiveForm('validate');

@samdark how can I know if validation manually triggered returns errors? I'm developing a wizard in which a form is divided in steps and every time the "next" button is clicked I need to trigger validation and change step only if no validation errors occurs.
With

$('form').yiiActiveForm('validateAttribute', 'contactform-name')

I can't control validation result.
