HTML5 Required input, removing and adding on the fly not working

I am trying to remove a required attribute from an input on the fly. The general idea is I have a field that is set to required, this field has custom validation with the pattern attribute. When the user clicks a button I am attempting to remove the required field.
I have put together a fiddle here:
https://jsfiddle.net/paulmatos/t1p1wub3/
HTML:
<form>
<input type="text" oninvalid='this.setCustomValidity("Enter a number in the Specified Range");' oninput="try{setCustomValidity('')}catch(e){}" pattern="[0-9]" required="required" name="password" id="password" />
<input type="text" required="required" name="temp" />
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary form-control" value="Submit" />
<div class="btn btn-default removeReq">Remove Required</div>
</form>
Jquery:
$('.removeReq').click(function() {
$('#password').removeAttr('required');
});
The issue I am experiencing has to do with the order of submission.
If you click remove required, and then submit the form you will see that it works as intended.
However, if you do those steps in reverse order, click submit first, then remove and try and submit again, you will notice I am still getting the validation error on the first input.
Is there anyway to get around this with this intended functionality, I am trying to get this to work just with the html5 validation.

I did have a look at the fiddle and the only way I could get the behaviour you wanted was by literally detaching, cloning and reinserting the field. Works tho.
$('.removeReq').click(function() {
var password = $('#password').removeAttr('required oninvalid oninput pattern').detach().clone();
$('form').prepend(password);
});
https://jsfiddle.net/t1p1wub3/2/

Think you are getting this due to the code in the oninvalid handler. Try this.
$('.removeReq').click(function() {
$('#password').removeAttr('required oninvalid');
});

You can try this instead of removeAtt():
$('.removeReq').click(function() {
$('#password').prop('required', false);
});

How do I validate all form fields in a div using parsley.js?

I have a div with a form field and a button that I would like to have parsley validate all the form fields in that div that have the proper data-validate attribute. I need it to work no matter how many form fields are in the div. So it needs to work on inputs, textareas, and select fields.
HTML:
<div id="parsley-div">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="city">City</label>
<input id="city-test" type="text" class="form-control" data-parsley-required data-parsley-required-message="Please enter a city name.">
</div>
<button class="btn btn-primary">Save Changes</button>
</div>
JS:
$('#parsley-div').find('button').click(function(){
$('#parsley-div').parsley().validate();
});
Unfortunately, this isn't working. I noticed it works if there is a form tag around the form fields, but I need it to be a div. I have created a JSFiddle that shows both cases: https://jsfiddle.net/8rkxzjx1/2/
How can I have parsley validate all form fields with data-parsley attributes within a specified div? If possible, please edit the JSFiddle to show the correct implementation. Thank you.
Edit:
I figured out this works, but it doesn't feel very efficient:
$('#parsley-div').find( "input, textarea, select" ).each(function (index, value) {
$(this).parsley().validate();
});

You could use
$('#parsley-div :input:not(:button)').parsley().validate();
See fiddle.
Edit
Looks like the above code won't work. The following can be used as the OP suggested.
$('#parsley-div :input:not(:button)').each(function (index, value) {
$(this).parsley().validate();
});
Here is the new fiddle.
Or the content can be wrapped in a form element and then be validated as follows:
$("#parsley-div").wrap("<form id='parsley-form'></form>");
$('#parsley-div').find('button').click(function() {
$('#parsley-form').parsley().validate();
});
Or since the OP does not want to have a form element in Dom, content can be wrapped in a form element and then the form can be removed after validation.
$('#parsley-div').find('button').click(function() {
$("#parsley-div").wrap("<form id='parsley-form'></form>");
$('#parsley-form').parsley().validate();
$("#parsley-div").unwrap();
});

Disable click in input in <a> element

I would like to have an input text inside a button like this:
<a onclick="reply_click();" class="btn btn-app btn-app-spinner">
<input type="text" disabled class="form-control small-input">
Set Budget
</a>
this is the result:
The problem is that when the user clicks on the input text, the reply_click() is triggered. I would it to be triggered ONLY when he clicks on the a element (Set Bid).
How can I do it?
See jsfiddle
EDITED
As you can see I want to make it look similar to the buttons in the design as you can see in the JSfiddle

Putting an input inside an a element is invalid HTML. From the spec for a:
Content model:
Transparent, but there must be no interactive content descendant.
input is interactive content, so it cannot appear within an a. Browsers may well choose to rewrite your HTML to put the input after the a to try to make it valid.
So the solution here is not to put an input inside an a. Not only because HTML doesn't allow it (you could work around that with a click handler on a div), but because it's extremely unusual UX, which will be unfamiliar and likely uncomfortable to users.
Having said that, if a browser doesn't relocate the input (or if you replace the a with a div with click handler), you can stop the event from propagating to the a by hooking click on the input and using stopPropgation:
$("a input").on("click", function(e) {
e.stopPropagation();
}):
I'm not recommending it, though.

In theory you can achieve the effect you're looking for with something like this
$(".setBid").click(function(e){
var $input = $(this).find("input[type='text']");
if ($input.is(e.target)
{
//do action
}
})
here's the html
<a class="btn btn-app btn-app-spinner setBid">
<input type="text" disabled class="form-control small-input">
Set Budget
</a>
however, as #TJ said this is NOT valid HTML

This is invalid html! don't do that!
If you must, then just stop propagation by handling a click on the input:
function reply_click(e){
alert("clicked!");
}
function input_click(e)
{
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
}
<a onclick="reply_click();" class="btn btn-app btn-app-spinner">
<input type="text" class="form-control small-input" onclick="input_click(event)">
Set Budget
</a>
This snippet is not cross-browser safe (tested in chrome). Use jQuery, or handle the way other browsers deal with events.

you can do this:
<div class="btn btn-app btn-app-spinner">
<input type="text" class="form-control small-input">
<a onclick="reply_click();" >
Set Budget
</a>
</div>
In your fiddle replace your html with the html that I provide on the answer and you will have what you want.
The trick is that adding the same classes that you have in your a to another element they are going to look like similar.
Then if you want your action fired when user clicks on the "set budget", wrap it with the <a>

You can create a div and use the click on that div. That way you have valid HTML.
function bid(){
alert('bid');
}
function stop(e){
e.stopPropagation();
}
div {
width:200px;
height:60px;
background-color:#f93;
text-align:center;
padding-top:20px;
}
<div onclick="bid()">
<input type='text' onclick="stop(event)">
<p>bid</p>
</div>

You should not wrap the input element inside a link.
Instead, the input needs a label (for accessibility, especially screen reader users) and something that functions as a button (a real button element in the code below). Since you don't have a proper label element, I used WAI-ARIA described-by to link the input field with the button.
<form>
<input type="text" class="form-control small-input"
aria-describedby="ses-budget" />
<br />
<button type="submit" onclick="reply_click();"
class="btn btn-app btn-app-spinner" id="set-budget">Set budget</button>
</form>

How to remove user input from a text input box with Jquery on submit?

I can't seem to get this to work for the life of me. I've tried setting the value to '' with getElementById('guess').value and $('#guess').val, tried using $('#formGuess').reset(), etc. Don't know why the value won't clear out.
Here is my code on this:
js
$('#submit').on('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var guess = $('#guess').val();
$('#guess').removeAttr('value');
}
HTML
<div class="container center">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">
<form class="form-horizontal" method="post" id="guessForm">
<div class="form-group">
<div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Guess" id="guess"/>
</div>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" name="submit" value="Guess" id="submit"/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>

Set empty string as the value of textbox like following.
$('#guess').val('');

First, you should attach a "submit" listener to the form, not to the button, e.g.
<form id="someForm"></form>
$("#someForm").submit(function () {
// your code
});
But if you want to attach it to the button, then you can do that, no worries.
Make sure that the event is called. Are you sure that the function within "click" event is called? Put there a console.log("someText");
If it's called, then make sure that jQuery is getting the right element. Maybe you've made a typo? Maybe there's a missing "#" sign? Or maybe the jQuery is not loaded at all?
Open developers tools and check what's in the console.
Probably you've made a simple mistake - it's always about simple mistakes. : )

From your code,
var guess = $('#guess').val();
you are getting the value not setting.
To set the value
$('#guess').val('');

Input field with onchange fails to trigger when user click button in another form

I have a page with multiple small forms on it. Each form has one input field that has an onchange function which will submit it's form to a url that returns a no data status.
Things work fine, submitting form after form, until the user clicks on a small form that has ONLY a submit button in it. This click works, but abandons the change in the previous field resulting in its onchange not firing the click at the bottom of the changed function fails (still trying to understand the firebug trace).
What's going on? is there a fix for my structure?
UPDATE:
First I tried simply delaying the action of the submit, but no luck.
I have hidden the and added an <input button> to the chain of "events" so that the focus has a place to come to rest before the real submit tries to happen -- the code below has been updated. So the question now becomes:
Is this as simple as it can be?
Script:
$(function() {
$('input,select').change(changed);
});
function changed(){
...
$(this).parents('form').find(':submit').click();
}
function doSubmit(elt, id)
{
$(elt).focus();
setTimeout(function(){
$(id).click();
}, 400);
}
One of may small forms:
<form class="clean" method="POST" action="QuoteProApp.php">
<input type="submit" value="field" name="btn_update" style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" value="000242" name="quote_id">
<input type="text" maxlength="15" size="3" value="" name="q[cost][4][1][unit]">
</form>
The offending click goes into this form:
<form class="clean" method="POST" action="QuoteProApp.php">
<input type="hidden" value="000242" name="quote_id">
<input type='button' name='btn_close' value='Close' onclick='doSubmit(this,"#CLOSE");'>
<input id='CLOSE' type='submit' name='btn_close' value='Close' style='display:none;'>
</form>

Might be totally irrelevant, but your selector for the change event includes your submit input too. Can you change it to:
$('input[type="text"],select').change(changed);
to see if anything changes?

The solution turned out to be to create a button tag, set the focus explicitly to a it, and then set a timeout to click the real, but hidden, submit input tag. This allows the change in focus to run the submit associated with it and then continue with the explicit submit of the page.
The question has been updated to show this solution.
