Hey there 🙂

I have a frontend form out of 3 field_groups split up in 3 steps.

Now I want to trigger validation (only, without submit) manually when a step is finished to get to the next step.

The form is some kind of reservation form with this layout:

<form>
	<div id=step1>
		<Fieldgroup1 />
		<button to next step />
	</div>
	<div id=step2>
		<Fieldgroup2 />
		<button to next step />
	</div>
	<div id=step3>
		<Fieldgroup3 />
		<final submit />
	</div>
</form>

Fieldgroups are created like this:

acf_form(array(
	'post_id'	=> 168,
	'post_title'	=> false,
	'field_groups' => array('210'),
	'form' => false
)); 

I just don’t know how to trigger the validation (and not yet how to submit all field-groups at once.
