Hi everybody,

In many places in our application the required columns come up in red color even before anything was done with the input controls.

I don't understand what would cause the validations kick in right away? Is it a normal standard behavior or something is wrong?

Here is one sample of a form called using uibModal dialog. This is the markup of the control:

<div class="controls">
                                        <div class="col-lg-9">
                                            <input class="form-control"
                                                   ng-model="newPassword"
                                                   name="newPassword"
                                                   placeholder="@Labels.newPassword"
                                                   type="password"
                                                   autocomplete="off"
                                                   required
                                                   ng-pattern="validPassword" />  <!--/^\d*$/  This worked but not "^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\\d)[A-Za-z\\d]{8,}$" or "^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\d)[A-Za-z\d]{8,}$"-->
                                            <!--I had to create validPassword ng scope function to make it work. Worked testing with http://www.regular-expressions.info/javascriptexample.html -->
                                            <div class="field-validation-error">
                                                <span ng-show="resetPasswordForm.newPassword.$error.pattern && resetPasswordForm.newPassword.$dirty">@Messages.passwordValidation</span>
                                                <span ng-show="resetPasswordForm.newPassword.$error.required && resetPasswordForm.newPassword.$dirty">@String.Format(Messages.isRequired, Labels.newPassword)</span>
                                            </div>
                                        </div>
                                    </div>

The password fields have red border when I just open the form (and did nothing yet). And when immediately as I start typing I get the pattern validation error.

I want to see the errors only after I leave the control, not while I'm typing or if I didn't even touch the control.

Do you know how can I figure out why this behavior is happening?

Thanks in advance.
