Form Validation and Submit using Semantic UI and JQuery

Bootstrap, despite all the effort to make it easily understandable, always relied heavily on its short hand notations for css classes. This seemed okay, until Semantic UI entered the race with its near perfect usage of natural language. The fact that it is well integrated with jQuery makes it a good choice for web developers.

One of the most common tasks in any web development has to do with form. The following code illustrates how to validate the form and submit it using the Semantic UI APIs.

                <form class="ui large form" method="POST" role="form" id="ValidateUser">
                    <section class="ui stacked segment">
                        <div class="field">
                            <div class="ui left icon input">
                                <i class="user icon"></i>
                                @Html.TextBoxFor(a => a.UserName, new { placeholder = "UserName",id="username" })
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(a => a.UserName)
                            </div>
                        </div>
                        <div class="field">
                            <div class="ui left icon input">
                                <i class="lock icon"></i>
                                @Html.PasswordFor(a => a.Password, new { placeholder = "Password",id="password" })
                                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(a => a.Password)
                            </div>
                        </div>

                        <input id="submitbutton" class="ui submit fluid large green button" type="submit" value="Login"/> 
                        <!-- <div class="ui blue submit button">Submit</div> -->
                        <div class="ui hidden negative message" id="formresult"></div>
                        <div class="ui error message" id="formvalidation"></div>
                    </section>
                </form>

$(document).ready(function () {

            var urllink = '@Url.Action("Login", "Validation")';


            $('#ValidateUser').form(
                                     {
                                         on: 'blur',
                                         fields: {
                                             username: {
                                                 identifier: 'username',
                                                 rules: [{
                                                     type: 'empty',
                                                     prompt: 'Username cannot be empty'
                                                 }]
                                             },
                                             password: {
                                                 identifier: 'password',

                                             $('#formresult').hide();
                                             $('#formresult').text('');
                                             event.preventDefault();
                                             return false;
                                         }
