# How to enable and disable Required Validation group for fields and Expressions fields when a div is shown

I have a [credit card](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23592/how-can-you-earn-maximum-reward-points-on-credit-cards) [transaction](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/175/transactions-in-database) area in my form that I hide and show based on user's [selection](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/60/populate-records-in-second-listbox-according-to-the-selection-in-first-list-box) in an [radio button](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12743/radio-button-in-android) group.

With my credit card piece are [required](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/160269/what-is-required-data-annotation-how-does-it-affect-model-validation) validations and required [expressions](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33876/what-is-the-syntax-for-lambda-expressions-in-vb-dot-net) that is in a [validation](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12234/validation-using-data-annotation-using-entity-framework) group.

I was wondering if I could get some help with [enabling](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/86018/ai-and-5g-enabling-the-internet-of-things-iot) and disabling this validation group in JQuery.

Thanks in advance.

I usually have a class that indicates whether a field should be validated or not, so when a field that should be validated is hidden, just remove the class. Add it again when it is displayed.

A more elegant solution is to disable validation of hidden fields:

$('myform').submit(function() {

$('myform').find('validate:visible').forEach( ... );

});
