Multiple Tab Validation is not working

Question

When I click the submit button the multiple tab validation is not working. I have around 12 tabs. If I click Submit button within any tab it simply submitted. The other tabs are not getting validated.

 $("#btn-login").click(function () {
        var IsValid = true;

        // Validate Each Bootstrap tab
        $(".tab-content").find("div.tab-pane").each(function (index, tab) {
            var id = $(tab).attr("id");
            alert(id);
            //$('a[href="#' + id + '"]').click(function (e) {
            //    e.preventDefault();
            //    $(this).tab('show');
            //});
            $('a[href="#' + id + '"]').tab('show');
            //$('.nav-tabs a[href="#' + id + '"]').tab('show');
            //alert($('a[href="#' + id + '"]').attr("href") + " 2345");
            alert("succ11");
            var IsTabValid = $("#" + id).validate();
           
            alert("succ12");
            if (IsTabValid.valid()) {
                alert(id + " success");
                IsValid = false;
            }
        });

    });

 <div class="col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12" style=" padding-left:0px; padding-right:0px;">
                    <div class="tabs-left" style="padding-top: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
                        <ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="tabs">

                                        <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger modal-close-btn" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>

Answer 1

If you are using jquery.validation, then you are probably hitting the fact that by default, it only validates visible controls.

you can change this before by using something like

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("form").validate().settings.ignore = "";
}

Answer 2

By default, jquery validation is not working for hidden fields(like hidden tab also). To enable this add this code out of the ready method

$.validator.setDefaults({
            ignore: []
   });
