Validation for "Next" button using DataTables

Hello everybody!
I’m using datatables to show results from a survey. I show each question and a set of answers to choose from in a separate page. I have to do validation – if you have not chosen any of the possible answers, to stay at that page and show validation massage for required field. If you answer that question, then to be shown the next question. That’s why I need to validate form for the “Next” button. Not to show next question, if it’s not chosed answer.
Now I saw id of the “next” button in my table is: “example_next”.
Could you help me? Thanks in advance!
That’s my code:

[CODE]
<html>
<head>
<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.5/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css” type=”text/css” />
<script src=”//code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js”></script>
<script src=”//cdn.datatables.net/1.10.6/js/jquery.dataTables.min.js”></script>
<script src=”//cdn.datatables.net/tabletools/2.2.4/js/dataTables.tableTools.min.js”></script>
<script src=”../../media/js/dataTables.editor.min.js”></script>
<script>

$(document).ready(function() {
$(‘#example’).dataTable( {

“pagingType”: “simple”,
“lengthMenu”: [[1], [1]],
“bSort”: false,

“language”: {
“paginate”: {
“previous”: true

}
}

} );

} );
$(“#button”).click(function () {

Field::inst( ‘answer’ )->validator( ‘Validate::notEmpty’ );

}
<?php
include( “/editor/php/DataTables.php” );

use
DataTablesEditor,
DataTablesEditorField,
DataTablesEditorFormat,
DataTablesEditorJoin,
DataTablesEditorUpload,
DataTablesEditorValidate;

Editor::inst( $db, ‘survey_answers’ )
->fields(
Field::inst( ‘answer’ )->validator( ‘Validate::required’ )
)
->process( $_POST )
->json();

$survey_id = $this->uri->segment(3);
$question_id = $this->uri->segment(4);
$att=array(“id”=>”form”);
echo form_open(‘index/survey_fill/’ .$survey_id , $att); ?>
<table id=’example’ >
<thead>
<tr><th>question_id</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<?php
echo validation_errors();

foreach ($survey as $row)
{

?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo “$row->question”; ?><br/>
<?php echo “<input type=’hidden’ name=’question_id’ value=’$row->question_id’ />”; ?>
<?php

$data=array(
‘name’ => ‘answer[‘.$row->question_id.’]’,
‘value’ => ‘5’,
‘onclick’=>”last_question()”,
“data-val” => true,
“data-val-required” =>”Required field”
);

echo “<input type=’hidden’ name=’survey_id’ value=’$row->survey_id’>”;

echo form_radio($data);
echo ” 5 “;
$data=array(
‘name’ => ‘answer[‘.$row->question_id.’]’,
‘value’ => ‘4’,
‘onclick’=>”last_question()”
);
echo form_radio($data);
echo ” 4 “;
}
?>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php echo ‘<input type=”submit” id=”button” onsubmit=”return validate(this);” name = “submit” value=”Submit” class=”btn btn-success”>’;

[/CODE]
