How to disable button until input field has a value using AngularJS

I know nothing about Angular but I was asked to create a validation for the new google map input. All I want to do is have the #lugar_continuar button stay disabled until the input #ciudad is filled in, but the button isn't disabled for some reason.
index.php, input to validate
<div class="">
<input id="ciudad" name="ciudad" class="ciudad" type="text"
placeholder="Ciudad" value="" required ng-model="ciudadSet">
<div id="map"></div>
<input type="hidden" id="distance" size="31" value="31">
</div>
Input type button that should stay disabled
<input id="lugar_continuar" name="lugar_continuar" type="button" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Reserva', 'Continuar', 'preciohome'])" value="Continuar" ng-disabled="validacion2() && ciudadSet" ng-click="from_precio = true" >
Using ng-model doesn't work. I also tried with JS, in main.js:
var ReservasApp = angular.module('Reservas',['rzModule']);
ReservasApp.controller('ReservasController',function($scope){
$scope.ciudad = "";
$scope.validacionCiudad = function() {
var disabled = false;
if( $scope.ciudad != null && $scope.ciudad != "" )
{
disabled = false;
}
else
{
disabled = true;
}
}
}
index.php
<input id="lugar_continuar" name="lugar_continuar" type="button" onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Reserva', 'Continuar', 'preciohome'])" value="Continuar" ng-disabled="validacion2() && validacionCiudad()" ng-click="from_precio = true" >
I also tried using only JS:
var validacionCiudad = function() {
var ciudad = document.getElementById('ciudad');
var btn = document.getElementById('lugar_continuar');
if (ciudad.value == "") {
btn.setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
} else {
btn.removeAttribute("disabled");
}
}
validacionCiudad();
I have tried many ways to achieve this but nothing is working!

you can try this: ng-disabled = "ciudadSet == ''", since ng-disabled is valid when the expression equals true. If you must call function validacionCiudad to judge this, you have to return bool value in your function. May this will help.

Change $scope.ciudad ="" to $scope.ciudad = undefined;
change your ng-model to:
ng-model="ciudad"
and your ng-disabled to:
ng-disabled="!ciudad"
that shall work

You can validate it like this.
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<form name="userForm" ng-submit="submitForm(userForm.$valid)" novalidate>
<input name="name" ng-model="name" type="text" required >
<br>
<button type="submit" ng-disabled="userForm.$invalid" >Enviar</button>
</form>
</div>

JavaScript not working for button inside form

I'm trying to use JavaScript and PHP together for the first time.
PHP, as far as I know, requires the submit button to be inside the form tags. However, for some reason, JavaScript ONLY works if the submit button is outside the form. If I move the submit button inside the form tags I get this error:
"index.html:94 Uncaught TypeError: submitBtn is not a function".
Is there a way to either 1) get PHP to work with the button OUTSIDE the form? OR 2) get JavaScript to work with the button INSIDE the form?
HTML:
<form>
<div class="form" id="form">
<label for="name">Name</label><br>
<input type="text" name="username" id="name"><br>
<label for="email">Email</label><br>
<input type="text" name="username" id="email"><br>
<label for="comment">Reason for contacting</label><br>
<textarea rows="3" id="comment" name="comment"></textarea>
<br>
</div>
<button type="button" name="submitButton" id="submitBtn" onclick="submitBtn()">SEND</button>
</form>
JavaScript:
function submitBtn() {
var name = document.getElementById('name');
var email = document.getElementById('email').value;
var comment = document.getElementById('comment');
if(name.value.length > 1 && name.value.length < 50) {
if(email.length > 5 && email.length < 50 && email.indexOf('#') >= 0 && email.indexOf('.') >= 0 && !(email.indexOf(' ') >= 0)) {
if(comment.value.length > 9 && comment.value.length < 500) {
alert("Thanks");
} else {
alert("Message must be between 10 and 500 characters");
}
} else {
alert("Not a valid email");
}
} else {
alert("Name must be longer than three characters");
}
};

Change the button's id to submitBtnId
elements's ID and function's name cannot be same, because they are all identifiers.
<button type="button" name="submitButton" id="submitBtnId" onclick="submitBtn()">SEND</button>

You must change the function name or the button id because both are same.

Validating form after error has been shown

I have a form where username and password are entered. If they are left blank an error is shown, however when one of the input box is filled in and the submit button is clicked the error that's there doesn't go away.
<script type="text/javascript">
function chck() {
var valid = true;
var pass = document.getElementById('password_box').value;
var user = document.getElementById('username_box').value;
if (user == '') {
document.getElementById('password-error').innerHTML = "* Please enter username to proceed...";
document.getElementById('username_box').style.borderColor = "#DC3D24";
document.getElementById('username_box').style.backgroundColor = "maroon";
valid = false;
}
if (pass == '') {
document.getElementById('user-error').innerHTML = "* Please enter password to proceed...";
document.getElementById('password_box').style.borderColor = "#DC3D24";
document.getElementById('password_box').style.backgroundColor = "maroon";
valid = false;
}else{
valid = true;
}
return valid;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form action="checkup.php" method="post" name="checkup">
<div class="login-box">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username goes here.." id="username_box" class="box" name="username">
<input type="password" placeholder="Password goes here.." id="password_box" class="box" name="password"> <BR>
<input type="submit" class="button" id="submit_button" value="LogMeIn" onClick="return chck()">
<input type="button" class="button" id="clear_button" value="Clear">
</div>
</form> <BR>
<center>
<div class="error-area" id="message">
<p id="password-error">
</p>
<p id="user-error">
</p>
</div>
</center>
Only if I fill in both boxes, then the error goes away. I want to hide the error as soon as one of the boxes is filled in with text. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Try using HTML5......just add required attribute and to clear values use reset input
<form action="checkup.php" method="post" name="checkup">
<div class="login-box">
<input type="text" placeholder="Username goes here.." id="username_box" class="box" name="username" required title="* Please enter username to proceed...">
<input type="password" placeholder="Password goes here.." id="password_box" class="box" name="password" required title="* Please enter password to proceed..."> <BR>
<input type="submit" class="button" id="submit_button" value="LogMeIn" onClick="return chck()">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
</div>
</form>
or if you want to achieve this with the existing code try using onfocus event to clear the error message. Hope this hepls

You could run chck() on the "keypress" event for your "username_box" and "password_box" elements.
Like so:
document. getElementById("username_box").addEventListener("keypress", function () {
chck();
}, true);
but update chck slightly to be:
function chck() {
var valid = true;
var pass = document.getElementById('password_box').value;
document.getElementById('password-error').innerHTML = "";
var user = document.getElementById('username_box').value;
document.getElementById('user-error').innerHTML = "";
document.getElementById('password_box').setAttribute("style", "");
document.getElementById('username_box').setAttribute("style", "");
if (user == '') {
document.getElementById('password-error').innerHTML = "* Please enter username to proceed...";
document.getElementById('username_box').style.borderColor = "#DC3D24";
document.getElementById('username_box').style.backgroundColor = "maroon";
valid = false;
}
if (pass == '') {
document.getElementById('user-error').innerHTML = "* Please enter password to proceed...";
document.getElementById('password_box').style.borderColor = "#DC3D24";
document.getElementById('password_box').style.backgroundColor = "maroon";
valid = false;
}
else{
valid = true;
}
return valid;
}

Jquery/Form - check input field is at least 5 characters long - and also doesn't match certain words

I have a very simple form. Full Name/Email. What I want to do is check with jquery to make sure that they entered AT LEAST 5 characters in the name field. And if they did not, then I don't want the form to be submitted, instead I want to print some HTML below the form showing a warning/error message. How can I accomplish this?
Also Can I add words manually to the script to make sure they were not entered in the name field? And if they were to make sure it prints errors again... For example, if they entered the word "bobby" or "stephanie" I don't want the form to be submitted if those EXACT words are entered. It is only like 5 or 6 words I want blocked, so I can enter them manually no problem in the script without bloating anything.
Thank you so much in advance.
Here is my HTML
<div id="div1">
<label id="name-label" for="full_name">Name</label>
<input id="full_name" type="text" name="name" tabindex="1" autofocus="1">
</div>
<div id="div2">
<label id="email-label" for="email_address">Email</label>
<input id="email_address" type="email" tabindex="2" name="email">
</div>
And this is the added HTML I want printed if the jquery check is false
<div id="error">
<span class="error_message">Please enter your full name</span>
</div>

Let's assume your form has an id of myForm.
var words = ["bobby", "stephanie"];
jQuery('#myForm').on('submit', function(evt) {
var form = $(this);
var full_name = form.find('#full_name');
var name_length = full_name.val().length;
if( name_length < 5 ) {
jQuery('#error').show();
evt.preventDefault();
}
if( jQuery.inArray(full_name.val(), words) ) {
evt.preventDefault();
}
});

Here is my answer: there are two if statements that we can construct:
Test if length of input exceeds 5 characters, and
Test if the input matches a list of banned words (stored in an array for convenience and verbosity)
It is a little complicated with the second conditional statement, since we want an exact match (therefore, using 'bobby' will raise a flag, but not 'bobby123'. This involves the use of word boundaries, \b.
You can view the code in action in this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/teddyrised/kmMcC/
$('form').submit(function(e) {
var errorFlag = 0,
bannedWords = [
'bobby',
'stephanie'
],
bannedObj = new RegExp('\\b'+bannedWords.join('|')+'\\b', 'i');
if($('#full_name').val().length <= 5) {
errorFlag = 1;
}
if(bannedObj.test($('#full_name').val())) {
errorFlag = 1;
}
// Act on error flag, prevent form submission when one or more error flags are raised
if(errorFlag) e.preventDefault();
});

Assuming you put this all in a form element, and add an input type='submit' element to it, I would suggest setting the form's onsubmit attribute to "return Validate();", and add the below validation function.
First you'll want to hide the message on ready using: $('error').hide();
function Validate(){
var minLength = 5;
var blockedNames = ["bobby","stephanie"];
var fName = $('#full_name').val();
if(fName.length < minLength){
$('#error').show();
$('#full_name').focus();
return false;
}
for(var i = 0;i < blockedNames.length;i++){
if(fName == blockedNames[i]){
$('#error').show();
$('#full_name').focus();
return false;
}
}
return true;
}

<div id="div2">
<label id="email-label" for="email_address">Email</label>
<input id="email_address" type="email" tabindex="2" name="email" />

display: none;
border: 1px solid #D9534F;
background: #FDF7F7;
width: 80%;

padding: 5px;
}
JS
function check() {
var bannedWords = ['bobby','stephen'];
var name= $('#full_name').val();
if(name){
if(name.length>5){
for(var i=0;i<bannedWords.length;i++) {
if(bannedWords[i] ==name){
$('#error').text('Its a banned word');
$('#error').css('display','inline-block');
return false;
}
}
alert('form is going to be submitted');
return true;
}
else{
$('#error').text('Name is shorter');
$('#error').css('display','inline-block');
return false;
}
}
$('#error').text('Name cant be blank');
$('#error').css('display','inline-block');
return false;
}

Stopping action if requirements are not met

I want to check the validation of two text boxs if either one is empty. It showed show an error as an innerHTML and if they are both filled in. It will then continue to action. Here is my code:
function go()
{
var toCheck = document.getElementById('myAnchor');
if (toCheck != '') {
return true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('myAnchor').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
}
this does set the innerHTML but still continues with the action. How can I stop it from continuing?
Thank you!

You should check the value of text box,
Change the code to
function go()
{
var toCheck = document.getElementById('myAnchor').value;
if (toCheck != '') {
return true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById('myAnchor').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
}

add the onsubmit on the form:
<form onsubmit="return true;">
...
</form>
if the return is false it will stop from submitting an opposite scenario if it's true. you could also call your functions on that attribute and do the same thing then if it doesn't fit the condition it will stop from submitting your form and do the other process you desire to happen.

Textfields use the value attribute.
document.getElementById('myAnchor').value = 'Fred Flinstone';
An empty textfield would have a value of "".
function go()
{
var toCheck = document.getElementById('myAnchor');
if (toCheck.value != "") {
return true;
}
else
{
toCheck.value = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
}
Here's a working example.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form name="form" action="data.php">
<label style="float:left">
<font face="Comic Sans MS">* username &nbsp
</label></font>
<input type="text" id='textfield' name="name" size="40" style="float: left;">
<label id='myAnchor' style="display: inline; padding-left: 20px;"></label> <br/> <br/>
<label style="float:left"><font face="Comic Sans MS">* password &nbsp</label></font>
<input type="text" name="pwd" size="40" style="float: left;">
<label id="myAnchor2" style="display: inline; padding-left: 20px;">
</label> <br/> </p> <input type="button" value="LogIn" onClick="return go();"> </form>
</body>
<script>
function go()
{
var toCheck = document.getElementById('textfield');
if (toCheck.value != "") {
return true;
}
else
{
toCheck.value = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
}
</script>
</html>

In your question you said that
I want to check the validation of two text boxs
In that case you should be checking the value of textboxes, not the myAnchor.
I would change your html code like this:
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="40" style="float: left;">
<input type="text" name="pwd" id="pwd" size="40" style="float: left;">
<input type="submit" value="LogIn" onSubmit="go();">
adding id to the input boxes
then change the onClick event to onSubmit. that way you can perform javascript validation in the function, then submit the form if all goes well, otherwise display the error.
Then your script will be like...
function go() {
var name = document.getElementById('name').value,
pwd = document.getElementById('pwd').value;
if (name != '' && pwd != '') {
document.forms["form"].submit();
}
else {
document.getElementById('myAnchor').innerHTML = 'Fred Flinstone';
}
}
