I'm displaying a PartialView in a Bootbox from another PartialView. Then the data of PartialView will be saved in a database. Now, before saving it to the database, I need to assure that all required fields have a correct values (E.g. Not empty).
Please find below codes.

Script to show the Bootbox with PartialView
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#modalCreateSample").on('click', function () {
$.ajax({
url: "/SessionData/Create",
type: 'GET',
success: function (data) {
bootbox.dialog({
title: "Create Session",
message: data,
buttons: {
success: {
label: "Save",
className: "btn-success",
callback: function () {
$.ajax({
url: "/SessionData/Create",
data: $("#FormCreateSample").serialize(),
type: "POST",
success: function (data) {
alert('success');
return true;
},
error: function (error) {
alert('error');
return false;
}
});
}
}
}
});
},
error: function (error) {
alert("Error: Please try again.");
}
});
});
});
</script>
Below is the sample snip of my current page so far. Once the user click the Save button it should fire a validation in the display popup.
My problem now is on how to implement a validation in a PartialView and Bootbox? Any suggestion? TIA
**************************** Update #1 ****************************
I ended up using the Bootstrap Modal rather than using Bootbox. I can now validate my form using the code gave by @Stephen Muecke.
I'm just having a follow up regarding this. When calling my POST method the serialize() method return empty? Using my old piece of code return the correct serialize() data.
