• 1 @Prasad, you have to create a div with ID errors for it to work... So make (for each input) a label or something to display custom errors for each validated field. – Maxime2400 Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 10:11
• Please format/indent your code properly. Anyway, what does this have to do with bootstrap modal? Do you want to use that? In that case, just read the documentation. – user663031 Commented Mar 18, 2017 at 10:51

Assuming you are using bootstrap; you can use a simple alert message like this

HTML

<div id="error" class="alert alert-danger" role="alert"></div>

Javascript

document.getElementById('error').innerHTML="Please enter a username";

Replace everywhere you are calling alert with javascript code above.

Reference: http://getbootstrap./ponents/#alerts

I'll do this using error div onto form...

    <form  id="register-form" onsubmit ="return validateForm()" action="<?php echo base_url(); ?>Index.php/Login_cntrl/login" method="POST" >

                    <div class="field-wrap">
                        <label class="view-label">Email Address</label>
                        <input type="email" placeholder="Email Address" name="email" id="email" class="input-control" value=""/>

                    </div>

                    <div class="field-wrap">
                        <input type="password" placeholder="Password" name="password" id="password" value="" />



                        <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn btn-link btn-nobg" id="btn-show-forgot" >Forgot ?</a>  



                    </div>


                    <div class="field-wrap">
                        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-submit" name="ulogin" id="ulogin" value="ulogin" >Login</button>
                    </div>
                    <div class="field-wrap">
                        <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="btn btn-link btn-nobg" id="btn-show-signup">NEW User? Sign up</a>
                    </div>
<div id='errorDiv' class='col-xs-12 pull-right'> </div>
                </form>

/// JS ///

function validateForm() {

        if (document.getElementById('email').value.trim()=="")
        {
            document.getElementById('errorDiv').innerHTML = "Please enter your Email";
            document.getElementById('email').focus();
            return false;
        }

        if (document.getElementById('password').value.trim()=="")
        {
            document.getElementById('errorDiv').innerHTML = "Please enter your Password";
            document.getElementById('password').focus();
            return false;
        }

        }
</script>

                <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>
            </div>
            <div class="modal-body">

                <form  id="register-form" onsubmit ="return validateForm()" method="POST" >
