Practice

1. Which Bootstrap class should you add to an input element to show it has valid data?

easy

A. valid-feedback

B. is-invalid

C. is-valid

D. invalid-feedback

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand Bootstrap validation classes

   Bootstrap uses is-valid to mark inputs as valid and is-invalid for invalid inputs.

2. Step 2: Identify the class for valid input

   The class is-valid visually marks the input as valid with green borders and icons.

3. Final Answer:

   is-valid -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Valid input class = is-valid [OK]

Hint: Valid input uses is-valid class for green highlight [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing is-valid with is-invalid
• Using feedback classes on input instead of messages
• Not adding any validation class

2. Which of the following is the correct way to add invalid feedback text below an input in Bootstrap?

easy

A. Error message

B. Error message

C. Error message

D. Error message

Solution

1. Step 1: Identify the correct feedback container

   Bootstrap uses invalid-feedback class inside a div to show invalid messages.

2. Step 2: Match the correct HTML structure

   The correct syntax is <div class="invalid-feedback">Message</div> placed after the input.

3. Final Answer:

   <div class="invalid-feedback">Error message</div> -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Invalid feedback uses div.invalid-feedback [OK]

Hint: Use div with invalid-feedback class for error messages [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using is-invalid class on feedback text instead of input
• Using valid-feedback class for invalid messages
• Placing feedback inside input tag

3. What will be the visual result of this code snippet?

<input type="text" class="form-control is-invalid" />

Solution

1. Step 1: Analyze the input classes

   The input has is-invalid which applies a red border and error icon.

2. Step 2: Check the feedback message

   The invalid-feedback div shows the error message below the input in red text.

3. Final Answer:

   Input box with red border and error message below -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   is-invalid + invalid-feedback = red error style [OK]

Hint: is-invalid input + invalid-feedback message = red error style [OK]

• Missing feedback message display

4. Identify the error in this Bootstrap form validation snippet:

<input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" required>
<div class="valid-feedback">Looks good!</div>
<div class="invalid-feedback">Please enter a valid email.</div>

medium

A. The feedback messages should be inside the input tag

B. The required attribute is invalid in Bootstrap forms

C. The input type should be text instead of email

D. The input is missing is-valid or is-invalid class to show validation state

Solution

1. Step 1: Check validation classes on input

   The input lacks is-valid or is-invalid classes, so no visual feedback appears.

2. Step 2: Confirm feedback message placement and attributes

   Feedback messages are correctly placed outside input; required is valid HTML5 attribute.

3. Final Answer:

   The input is missing is-valid or is-invalid class to show validation state -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Validation classes needed on input for feedback display [OK]

Hint: Add is-valid or is-invalid class to input for feedback to show [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Placing feedback inside input tag
• Removing required attribute thinking it's Bootstrap-only
• Using wrong input type for email

B. Add is-invalid to input and place success message inside div.invalid-feedback

C. Add valid-feedback class to input and place message inside span

D. Add is-valid to input and place success message inside span.invalid-feedback

Solution

1. Step 1: Choose correct validation class for success

   Use is-valid on input to show green border and success icon.

2. Step 2: Place success message correctly

   Success message goes inside a div with class valid-feedback placed immediately after the input.

3. Final Answer:

   Add is-valid to input and place success message inside div.valid-feedback after input -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Success = is-valid + div.valid-feedback [OK]

Hint: Use is-valid on input and div.valid-feedback for success message [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Mixing invalid classes with success messages
• Using span instead of div for feedback
• Placing feedback before input
