About

A small bootstrap plugin that provide form input controls that feedback to the user as to whether their input was valid.
Pelase Note: This plugin does NOT restrict form input/submission, it just provides visual feedback to the user.

Bootstrap 3.x users: Please note the examples below are all using Bootstrap 2.3.2. As of version 1.0 Bootstrap-AcknowledgeInputs supports Bootstrap 3.x and can (optionally) take in the "bootstrap_version" option when calling $().acknowledgeinput(); but will support both 2.3.2 and 3.x if not supplied. Make sure you replace the input-append class with the input-group class in the examples below and add the form-control class to the input element.

Using Bootstrap-AcknowledgeInput.js

  1. Make sure you include all the required files:
  2. <html lang="en">
        <head>
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
            <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome.min.css">
        </head>
        <body>
            <!-- PAGE CONTENT -->
            <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap.min.js" ></script>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="js/bootstrap-acknowledgeinput.min.js" ></script>
        </body>
    </html>
    
  3. Define your form with new acknowledge inputs
  4. <form>
        <label>Username</label>
        <div class="input-append" data-role="acknowledge-input">
            <input type="text" required="required" placeholder="Any Text Required" data-type="text" />
            <div data-role="acknowledgement"><i></i></div>
        </div>
    </form>
    

    The key things to note here is the use of data-role and data-type (optional).
    The data-type attribute tells the plugin what format the input text should be to warrant a success.
    The current data-type options are text (default), email and tel.

  5. Call the plugin on document ready
  6. <script type="text/javascript">
        $().ready(function() {
            $().acknowledgeinput();
        });
    </script>
