I am using $.validator.addMethod
How can I print the validation message in a control. I have a div id="err" where I want to print the message
Here is what my method looks like
$.validator.addMethod('something', function(value, element) {
return false;
}, 'I want to display this message in a Div with ID=error')
From the jQuery Documentation (see the options tab):
Displays a message above the form, indicating how many fields are invalid when the user tries to submit an invalid form.
$("#form").validate({
invalidHandler: function(form, validator) {
var errors = validator.numberOfInvalids();
if (errors) {
var message = errors == 1
? 'You missed 1 field. It has been highlighted'
: 'You missed ' + errors + ' fields. They have been highlighted';
$("div.error span").html(message);
$("div.error").show();
} else {
$("div.error").hide();
}
}
})
UPDATE:
To include your custom validation method, just include it in your rules:
$("#form").validate({
rules: {
name: {
MustBeAwesome: true
}
}
});
Validation method:
$.validator.addMethod('MustBeAwesome', function(value, element) {
return false;
}, 'Your name is not awesome');
