Error Placement Issue for the required fields

I have an issue with error placement for the required field and it overlaps exactly on the labels of the field and I'm using bootstrap modal with class form-label-group and it works fine if I remove the class. I want to show the error messages within the span of each input fields. It's really hard for the users to check the field names when I validate the form before submit.
$('#Test').validate({
errorElement: 'span', //default input error message container
errorClass: 'help-block', // default input error message class
focusInvalid: false, // do not focus the last invalid input
ignore: "",
rules: {
FName: {
required: true
},
LName: {
required: true
}
},
invalidHandler: function(event, validator) { //display error alert on form submit
},
highlight: function(element) { // hightlight error inputs
$(element)
.closest('.form-group').addClass('has-error'); // set error class to the control group
},
success: function(label) {
label.closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-error');
label.remove();
},
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
if (element.closest('.input-icon').length === 1) {
error.insertAfter(element.parent("span"));
} else {
error.insertAfter(element.parent("span"));
}
},
});
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="modal-body">
<form id="Test" action="#" class="addForm floating-labels m-t-40">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3 col-lg-3 col-3">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" id="FName" name="FName" value="" class="form-control" required="required" autofocus="autofocus" maxlength="50">

Thanks Swati and it worked. The issue was in one of my class, which was causing the issue.
element.parent("span") to element.next("span")

Vuejs import / load javascript file

I need some help. I am trying to load my javascript file and listing to changing on checkbook when I click my checkbox to show or hide password. But for some reason it is not working. I have try everything, but out of ideas how to solve the problem.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#showPassword').on('click', function () {
if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
$('#password').attr('type', 'text')
} else {
$('#password').attr('type', 'password')
}
})
<template>
<div class="container-fluid p-0">
<div class="col-md-12 content">
<div class="col-md-6 join-container" id="join-container">
<form class="col-md-12 col-sm-12"
>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control"
id="password" v-model="password"
placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="form-group pl-0">
<div class="form-check">
<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox"
id="showPassword" />
<label class="form-check-label"
for="show-password">Show Password</label>
</div>
</div>
<br>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Main from '../script/Index.js'
export default {
name: 'Register',
data: () => ({
}),
methods: {
},
components: {
Main
}
}
</script>

You're using jQuery event handlers (the $ bit) outside a script tag in a Vue component file. I wouldn't expect that code to do anything.
If you wanted that code to execute, you'd need it to be inside the <script> tags in your component. However, Vue already has event listeners (link to documentation), including listening for clicks on elements. There is no need to use two frameworks for this.
To implement a rough show password button (using your existing markup), here's how I'd do it (removing extra markup to highlight the important Vue-logic):
<template>
<div>
<input :type="passwordType" v-model="password">
<input v-model="showPassword" type="checkbox"/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
showPassword: false,
password: ''
}
},
computed: {
passwordType() {
if (this.showPassword) {
return 'text'
} else {
return 'password'
}
}
}
}
</script>

It's not advisable to mix jQuery and Vue since they have separate lifecycles.
Vue is able to do everything you're after by itself.
Simply bind your checkbox state to a Vue data property and use that to determine the password field's type, eg
<input :type="passwordFieldType" class="form-control"
id="password" v-model="password"
placeholder="Password">
<!-- snip -->
<input v-model="passwordFieldType" true-value="text" false-value="password"
class="form-check-input" type="checkbox"
id="showPassword">
data: () => ({
passwordFieldType: 'password'
})
See https://v2.vuejs.org/v2/guide/forms.html#Checkbox-1
new Vue({
el: '#app',
data: () => ({
password: '',
passwordFieldType: 'password'
})
})
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue/dist/vue.min.js"></script>
<form class="col-md-12 col-sm-12" id="app">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="password">Password</label>
<input :type="passwordFieldType" class="form-control" id="password" v-model="password" placeholder="Password">
</div>
<div class="form-group pl-0">
<div class="form-check">
<input v-model="passwordFieldType" true-value="text" false-value="password"
class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" id="showPassword" />
<label class="form-check-label" for="show-password">Show Password</label>
</div>
</div>
<br>
</form>

bootstrap validator not working in my code(no errors thrown) but works on JSFiddle [duplicate]

The following is the screenshot of the above index.html page which is inside the public folder of XAMPP's htdocs.
And developer's console shows no errors as shown below;

Your code has some broken links and you didn't initialize your validation function on document 'ready', also you shouldn't initialize your validator before the validateForm object loads. I've fixed these below:

Thats because you try to initialize validator before validateForm object load. Move your script to front of </body>

How to use custom validation function with Bootstrap's Validation?

Regarding to this answer my following code should work:
<form data-toggle="validator">
<div class="form-group has-feedback">
<label for="exampleInputText">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputText" placeholder="text" data-odd>
<span class="glyphicon form-control-feedback" aria-hidden="true"></span>
<div class="help-block with-errors"></div>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('form').validator({
custom: {
'odd': function($el) { return false }
},
errors: {
'odd': 'error message'
}
})
</script>
But it does not work - why?

You should remove
data-toggle="validator"
from the form tag, and update the input with id exampleInputText as follows (i.e. adding ="odd" to data-odd):
data-odd="odd"

jQuery Validation Plugin - Form does not submit

I'm using the jQuery Validation Plugin, and I have a problem.
Both my jQuery and HTML is perfectly valid (according to JSLint and the WC3 Markup Validation Service), but when I hit the submit button, nothing happens.
My code even clearly states that, upon submitting, an alert should pop up, but even that doesn't work. The form is however validated correctly, and in the and, all fields are green (meaning they passed validation) but it doesn't actually submit (nothing happens).
Also, in my DevTools, the console does not report any errors.
Possibly/probably relevant; the email-textfield and the username-textfield are both being checked by a remote PHP script. This script works, strange enough, only after the second time. So when I first leave (blur) the email-textfield, nothing happens, it's isn't marked correct nor false.
Only when I (re-enter and) leave the textfield for the second time, it is validated, or when I hit the submit button. (This shows the submit button is actually connected, it just simply does not submit)
I really hope someone will solve my problem. I'm not trying to just let someone else do the work. I validated, checked, debugged, but nothing solved my problem.

Everything looks very close to correct to me. One issue is that you have your php script echoing True back, but it has to be true (lower case). That actually matters.
Otherwise, IMO your script looks fine.
The stuff you're saying about it not calling your submitHandler, or only triggering the remote bits doesn't really seem to be the case to me. I copied your code and simply added a bit of debugging (i.e. to console.log when remote gets triggered or when submitHandler gets called) and both got called at the appropriate times.
For instance, if you type a valid email and then click to the next field, it immediately validates the email address.
So whatever issues you're having, are not related to the code you've shown (except for that one error with true vs True).
Here's a working example of your code, for reference: http://jsfiddle.net/ryleyb/tWH9M/1/
In order to test it with remote working teh way you have it setup, you have to find this bit:
signupemail: {
required: true,
email: true,
remote: {
url: '/echo/json/',
data: {
json: function () {
return 'true';
}
},
complete: function (data) {
$('#log').append('remote signupemail triggered<br>');
},
type: 'post'
},
},
And change that return 'true'; to return 'True';
