how to display form with div correctly?

I have this part of form field
When user click on the Add button will copy the above form field and user can add more in this field .
but when I add <div id="ownership"> above the code form it start to look like this
I need to put id=ownership because I want to use it in my jQuery function
<div id="ownership">
<div class="col-lg-12 mb-30 ">
<label for="add_owner"><b><span style="color:#e60000;">*</span> Name</b></label><br>
<input class="from-control" type="text" id="name" >
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 mb-30" >
<label for="add_owner"><b><span style="color:#e60000;">*</span> Phone number</b></label><br>
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<input class="from-control" type="text" id="phone" >
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-6 mb-30" >
<label for="add_owner"><b><span style="color:#e60000;">*</span> Emailn</b></label><br>
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<input class="from-control" type="email" id="email">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="owner"></div>
<br>
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-success w-30 add_info f-r">Add</button>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$(".add_info").click(function(){
var newForm = $("#ownership").clone();
$('input', newForm).val('');
$('owner').append(newForm);
});
});
</script>
How do I fix the code in order to achieve the image in number 1 ?

try this
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6"> Text</div>
<div class="col-sm-6"> Text</div>
</div>
you need to apply this format then design will be properly according your desirable.

Try this way. Always use bootstrap col class inside row class then it will not cause unexpected result.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12"></div>
<div class="col-md-6"></div>
<div class="col-md-6"></div>
</div>

Two Click Functions with Parents

I am building a specific time checkbox and upon click I need the days of the week to drop down with a checkbox. Once the user clicks that checkbox the [From - To] appears.
The thing is I have multiple of these going down and need to only display for the certain one I clicked.
So far I only have it set it for Monday but I cant get the from-to to appear on the first one.
<div class="specificHolder">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
Specific Time<input type="checkbox" class="specificTime">
</div>
</div>
<div class="specific_on" style="display:none">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Monday<input type="checkbox" class="monday">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="specificHolder">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">
Specific Time<input type="checkbox" class="specificTime">
</div>
</div>
<div class="specific_on" style="display:none">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
Monday<input type="checkbox" class="monday">
<div class="monday_to_from" style="display:none">
<input type="text" value="From">
<input type="text" value="To">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
$('.specificTime').on('click', function() {
$(this).parents('.specificHolder').find('.specific_on').toggle('slow');
});
$('.monday').on('click', function(){
$(this).parents('.specificHolder').find('.monday_to_from').toggle('slow');
});
https://jsfiddle.net/y1b8fr20/

Update
Using toggle() between more than one trigger creates a confusing behavior. This update separates the sliding of up and down and listens for the change event instead of the click event for more control between .monday checkboxes. Now it will behave as follows:
The to from boxes only appears when a .monday checkbox is checked
If a .monday checkbox is unchecked, the .to from boxes will slideUp.
If either .monday is checked, fromto stays.
fromto will only slideUp if both .mondays are unchecked
You have only one from to input so this is sufficient:
$('.monday').on('change', function() {
if ($('.monday').is(':checked')) {
$('.monday_to_from').slideDown('slow');
} else {
$('.monday_to_from').slideUp('slow');
}
});
Move this out of the influence of the second set of checkboxes:
<div class="monday_to_from" style="display:none">
<input type="text" value="From">
<input type="text" value="To">
</div>
Demo
$('.specificTime').on('click', function() {
$(this).parents('.specificHolder').find('.specific_on').toggle('slow');
});
$('.monday').on('change', function() {
if ($('.monday').is(':checked')) {
$('.monday_to_from').slideDown('slow');
} else {
$('.monday_to_from').slideUp('slow');
}
});

Bootstrap 4 Form Validation

I'm a beginner with bootstrap and I have seen a lot of bootstrap 3 form validation plugins etc, but I haven't found any for bootstrap 4.
I'm trying to validate multiple forms, and here is my code:

I have tried to modify existing js, but I had no luck.
Here is the rendered form:
jsfiddle of the form

First I solved my issue with an external library like Jonathan Dion suggested. But recently I came across this :
Bootstrap v4.0 introduced their own form validation that you can still pair with backend php validation. From the Doc :
<form class="needs-validation" novalidate>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="col-md-4 mb-3">
<label for="validationCustom01">First name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="validationCustom01" placeholder="First name" value="Mark" required>
<div class="valid-feedback">
Looks good!
</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">
Doesn't look good!
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then using JS :
<script>
// Example starter JavaScript for disabling form submissions if there are invalid fields
(function() {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
// Fetch all the forms we want to apply custom Bootstrap validation styles to
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('needs-validation');
// Loop over them and prevent submission
var validation = Array.prototype.filter.call(forms, function(form) {
form.addEventListener('submit', function(event) {
if (form.checkValidity() === false) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
}
form.classList.add('was-validated');
}, false);
});
}, false);
})();
</script>
This provides input border colorating and displays the valid / invalid feedback blocks according to the given pattern or properties. It is applied via CSS’s two pseudo-classes, :invalid and :valid. It applies to <input>, <select>, and <textarea> elements.

Update 2020 - Bootstrap 4.4.x
Here's another option (modern JS) if you want to validate each input one at a time (live or real-time) instead of waiting for the entire form to be submitted...
(function() {
'use strict';
window.addEventListener('load', function() {
// fetch all the forms we want to apply custom style
var inputs = document.getElementsByClassName('form-control')
// loop over each input and watch blur event
var validation = Array.prototype.filter.call(inputs, function(input) {
input.addEventListener('blur', function(event) {
// reset
input.classList.remove('is-invalid')
input.classList.remove('is-valid')
if (input.checkValidity() === false) {
input.classList.add('is-invalid')
}
else {
input.classList.add('is-valid')
}
}, false);
});
}, false);
})()
<form class="container" novalidate="" action="/echo" method="POST" id="myForm">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="input1">Enter some input</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" name="input1" id="input1"
autocomplete="no" required>
<div class="valid-feedback">Success! You've done it.</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">No, you missed this one.</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="form-control-label" for="input2">Enter password</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control"
pattern="^(?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,}$"
autocomplete="no" name="input2" id="input2">
<div class="valid-feedback">Nice! You got this one!</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">At least 6 chars: 1 uppercase, 1 lowercase and numeric</div>
</div>
<div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-secondary" id="btnSubmit">Submit</button>
</div>
</form>

You can use any library available on the web. You may try jqueryvalidation. It's pretty easy to use, just read the documentation.
Add the required attribute on your input and jqueryvalidation will do the job. For styling, you can add your own CSS and make it look like bootstrap.
Hopes it help
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#contact_form').validate()
})
Demo

I found a simpler and a bit more modern way to implement Bootstrap 4 JS Form validation:
Note: Keep in mind that each <form> element must have the novalidate attribute and at the same time, each <input> element in it must have the required attribute.
// Upon load..
window.addEventListener('load', () => {
// Grab all the forms
var forms = document.getElementsByClassName('needs-validation');
// Iterate over each one
for (let form of forms) {
// Add a 'submit' event listener on each one
form.addEventListener('submit', (evt) => {
// check if the form input elements have the 'required' attribute
if (!form.checkValidity()) {
evt.preventDefault();
evt.stopPropagation();
console.log('Bootstrap will handle incomplete form fields');
} else {
// Since form is now valid, prevent default behavior..
evt.preventDefault();
console.info('All form fields are now valid...');
}
form.classList.add('was-validated');
});
}
});
<!-- Load necessary libraries -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<!-- Add form -->
<div class="container" style="padding-top: 40px;">
<form class="student-search needs-validation" novalidate>
<div class="form-row">
<div class="form-group col-6">
<label for="input-name-search" class="sr-only">Name</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="input-name-search" placeholder="Name" required>
<div class="valid-feedback">Looks good!</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">Enter a name please.</div>
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<button id="btn-search" type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-block">Search student</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

I just figured out the reason my code wasn't validating: I didn't have a submit button to trigger the validation. Make sure to have it.
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>

There's no real need for a library here, you can use the native reportValidation() method: MDN. You can call it on individual inputs or on the entire form itself.

When refresh page make sure stay in same div area

When I click on my next button and it goes to step 2 and if I reload the page I would like to make sure it stays on the same div that I am on.
The 2 divs I use are join_form_1 and join_form_2
At the moment it when I reload page it goes back to first div
How can I make it stay on the div I am on?
Codepen Example Here
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#join_form_2").hide();
$("#step_1_link").addClass("active");
$("#next").click(function(){
$("#step_1_link").removeClass("active");
$("#step_2_link").addClass("active");
$("#join_form_1").hide();
$("#join_form_2").show();
});
});

You can use javascript cookie API here
So when user clicks 'Next'
Cookies.set('active', 'join_form_2');
Than if user clicked in the previous session, show form 2.
if (Cookies.get('active') == 'join_form_2') {
$("#join_form_1").hide();
$("#step_1_link").removeClass("active");
} else {
$("#join_form_2").hide();
$("#step_1_link").addClass("active");
}
Here is working codepen.

The easiest and most reliable way to do this is to use Fragment_identifier along with :target pseudo selector.
This will work even if cookies are disabled. And since you're using bootstrap, it's easy to style <a> tags like buttons.
For example:
if (!window.location.hash) {
window.location.hash = 'step1';
.steps:not(:target) {
display: none;
}
step1
step2
<div id="step1" class="steps">Step1</div>
<div id="step2" class="steps">Step2</div>

how to validate dynamically generated form containing bootstrap tabs in jquery

In my project i'm dynamically generating an html form using jquery. Here the page consist of five tabs each having separate previous and next buttons. The tab is designed using bootstrap. Can anyone please suggest the easiest method to validate this page. ie, when i click next button on first tab it should validate fields in first tab only and so on. Please help me to solve this issue. Many thanks in advance.
Here is my whole code:
html code:
<ul class="nav nav-tabs">
<li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#name" id="id-name">name</a></li>
<li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#address" id="id-address">address</a></li>
</ul>
<form class="form-horizontal" id="id-fn-employee" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/employee/saveMe">
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="name" class="tab-pane fade in active" style="height:auto;overflow: hidden;">
<span id ="name1"></span>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">First Name<a style="color: red">*</a>
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block">First Name</p>
</label>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" placeholder="First Name" required="true" id="id-firstNmae" name="firstNmae" class="form-control">
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block"></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Last Name<a style="color: red">*</a>
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block">Last Name</p>
</label>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" placeholder="Last Name" required="true" id="id-lastName" name="lastName" class="form-control">
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block"></p>
</div>
</div>
<ul class="pager">
<li>Cancel</li>
<li>Next</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="address" class="tab-pane fade" style="height:auto;overflow: hidden;">
<span id ="address1"></span>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">house name<a style="color: red">*</a>
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block">house name</p>
</label>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" placeholder="house name" required="true" id="id-houseName" name="houseName" class="form-control">
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block"></p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-sm-3 control-label">Street<a style="color: red">*</a>
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block">Street</p>
</label>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<input type="text" placeholder="Street" required="true" id="id-street" name="street" class="form-control">
<p style="font-size: 75%;" class="help-block"></p>
</div>
</div>
<ul class="pager">
<li>Previous</li>
<li>Next</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</form>
JS:
$(document).ready(function(){
var $validator = $("#id-fn-employee").validate({
errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
var placement = $(element).data('error');
if( $(element).hasClass('grp') ){
error.insertAfter($(element).parent());
}else{
if (placement) {
$(placement).append(error)
} else {
error.insertAfter(element);
}
}
}
});
});
I have included the required js files along with
<script src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/resources/js/plugins/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>
Here we need to add the above code in js and need to specify the id of the form.
This validation is working fine in static pages but failed to validate dynamically generated form.

Let's assume you have some markup like the following for simplicity:
<ul class="tabs">
<li class="tab" id="first_tab">
<form>
/* form fields are here */
<button class="next_btn">Next</button>
</form>
</li>
</ul>
So you can listen to the click event on the Next button:
$('form .next_btn').on('click', function () {
var $btn = $(this),
$form = $btn.closest('form');
initValidator($form);
if($form.valid()){
// Go to next step
} else {
alert('Invalid form')
}
});
function initValidator($form) {
var $validator = $form.validate({
errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
var placement = $(element).data('error');
if( $(element).hasClass('grp') ){
error.insertAfter($(element).parent());
}else{
if (placement) {
$(placement).append(error)
} else {
error.insertAfter(element);
}
}
}
});
}

Problem :
This looks messy, Being this your current structure.
<form class="form-horizontal" id="id-fn-employee" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/employee/saveMe">
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="name">...</div>
<div id="address">...</div>
</div>
</form>
And your script
var $validator = $("#id-fn-employee").validate({...
Since your have the form as a parent which wraps both the tab content, at any given tab you will end up in validating the entire form.
Solution:
1) Have a seperate forms for each tab, and on click of next button you can validate only that respective tab's form. So your Html should be restructured this way.
<div class="tab-content">
<div id="name"><form>...</form></div>
<div id="address"><form>...</form></div>
</div>
And when both forms are valid you can combine the data of both the forms and then submit using Jquery.
2) If you dont want to restructure your HTML then you have to manually grab only the elements in that particular tab content div and then validate them manually.
