Answer 1

Folks, bootstrapValidator has been upgraded to formValidation. If you are using the updated version of formValidation you can do this instead of adding a separate class to hide the text area:

   $('#setpolicyform').formValidation({
                                framework: 'bootstrap',
                                excluded: [':disabled'], /* This will do the trick of validating for notEmpty*/
                                icon : {
                                    valid : '',
                                    invalid : '',
                                    validating : 'glyphicon glyphicon-refresh'
                                },
                                fields: {
                                 policyta: {
                                  group: '.lnbrd',
                                  validators: {
                                   notEmpty: {
                                   message: 'Textarea cannot be empty'
                                   },
                                   stringLength: {
                                    max: 50,
                                   message: 'Maximum 50 Characters Required'
                               }
                            }
                         }
                      }
        });

$('.textarea').wysihtml5({
        events: {
            change: function () {
                $('#setpolicyform').formValidation('revalidateField', 'policyta');
        }
    }
});

Thanks
