I am using bootstrap validator to validate a form but I have been unable to get it to validate a text box that gets populated by datepicker. When I click in the text box, datepicker displays a calendar. I select a date and the text box gets populated with the selected date (the calendar does not auto-close which is another issue even though I modified the bootstrap-datepicker.js to have autoclose default to yes) but the validator seems to ignore the box. It never changes to red or green and never gets a check or an x. Any suggestions?

},

</html>Validation will not work with input id only with name attribute and the datepicker input doesn't has the name attribute (or may be you forget it)
<input id="PayDate" name="PayDate" type="text" class="form-control date-picker" />
and you don't need to check the length of date, don't need following piece of code
stringLength: {
max: 10,
minlength: 10,
message: 'The Pay Date must be 10 characters long'
}
and you are using bootstrapdate picker, to validate the date and and re-validate the date if change you need changeDate event
$('.date-picker').on('changeDate show', function(e) {
$('#contactForm').bootstrapValidator('revalidateField', 'PayDate');
});
So final Code will be
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".date-picker").datepicker();
$('#contactForm').bootstrapValidator({
feedbackIcons: {
valid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-ok',
invalid: 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
validating: 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
},
fields: {
uploadfile: {
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'You must select a valid payroll file to upload'
},
file: {
extension: 'txt,xls,csv',
type: 'text/plain,application/vnd.ms-excel,text/csv'
}
}
},
PayDate: {
validators: {
notEmpty: {
message: 'The Pay Date is required and cannot be empty'
},
date: {
format: 'MM/DD/YYYY',
message: 'The format is MM/DD/YYYY'
}
}
}
}
});
$('.date-picker').on('changeDate show', function(e) {
$('#contactForm').bootstrapValidator('revalidateField', 'PayDate');
});
