Solution

  • Couple of mistakes in your approach

    1. No jQuery lib included (must be included above all other JS libraries)
    2. bootstrap.min.js included twice (remove one)
    3. missing $ before (document).ready(function() in script
    4. missing id selector myForm in <form>

    Rest nothing is wrong with the code

    SideNote: validation can be done either with attribute data-toggle="validator" OR initialize on form via JS script $('#myForm').validator(), no need of both.

    Fiddle with data-toggle="validator"
