Hidden/not visible fields are validated about bouncer HOT 2 CLOSED

Bouncer's main goal is to emulate native browser validation behavior. A hidden field in a form with validation on it (a required attribute, for example) will trigger browser validation and prevent a form from being submitted just like Bouncer does.

My recommendation would be to keep the template outside the form, or add the validation field when cloning.

Moving the templates outside the form is an option, but would require some re-engineering on my side. A quick and dirty workaround without bouncer changes is to do sth like this:

function isHidden(el) {
    return (el.type!='hidden' && el.offsetParent === null)
}

var errors = bouncer.validateAll(form);
var errorCount = 0;
for (var i=0;i<errors.length;++i) {
    if (!isHidden(errors[i])) ++errorCount;
}

if (errorCount>0) //we have a problem
