JQuery :: Validate Plugin - Placement Of Error Text
Aug 19, 2009
I am using the jquery form validation plugin [URL] to get some simple validation done on my form. It's working perfect so far. When I set a particular form field to have the class "required" that makes it so that it can't be blank and when the user tries to submit the form, JQuery displays a "This field is required." text beside the field and focuses on it. The text generally appears right beside the input element. I was wondering whether it is possible to actually control where the error text appears? Say like I set an element div element which I want the error to appear. Is there a way to make it the error text appear in that div element?
I've been banging my head against the wall for about a week now. Everything in the code below works as expected. How I can make the error appear in the last <td> in my table below? It currently appears in <td> 4 along with the first input, but I need it in <td>7.
I am using jquery validate plugin to validate my form. The form is modified bassistance form, which is a table with various <tr> and <td>. Default placement is error.appendTo( element.parent().next() );
But I want to append (or display) errors in a single td with id and name as "errorbox" located on the first row of my table. How to modify errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.appendTo( element.parent().next() ); },
I have a form where I am using the jquery validation plugin. In that form, I have a date field that is using a jquery datepicker plugin so a small calendar gif immediately follows the date field. The date is required. The problem is when the field fails validation, the error message appears directly after the date input pushing the calendar gif to the right of the error message. I know there is an errorPlacement parameter that you can use, but isn't that for every field in the form? How can I get the error placement to go after the calendar gif just for the date field. Here is my test code. I am also using an AJAX form submission plugin. The name of my date field is startDate.
Here is a suggestion for the documentation. It can be added to General_Guidelines. This is important because, for me at least, I had to figure it out on my own how to deal with radio buttons. A suggestion in the documentation would have saved me a chunk of time. [URL] Error Placement for Radio Buttons (and perhaps checkboxes). If the default placement of the error message doesn't work for your radio buttons, here is a suggestion.
First, here is my customized message, in jQuery("#frm").validate. Notice the <br> tag. messages: { x_gender: " Select One<br/>", },
Also in the validate function. // the errorPlacement has to take the table layout into account // "error" is the error message, as a jQuery object. The element is the first of the group of radio inputs. errorPlacement: function(error, element) { if ( element.is(":radio") ) { error.prependTo( element.parent() ); } else { // This is the default behavior of the script error.insertAfter( element ); }}
I propose this as the default method for radio buttons. And perhaps checkboxes. This way, in my form html at least, the error message appears on a line just above the first radio button. Otherwise, it appeared immediately to the right of the button, between the button and the label.
The jquery.validate.pack.js file found on [url] causes an error when run in IE6. I re-ran the packing process with the perl port of Dean Edwards' Packer found here [url] and the problem no longer persists.
Here is the command I ran on cygwin:
These are the safest settings I've found with jsPacker.pl. The packed file lost 2kb (.1kb gzipped) of savings, but it works now!
I'm new to using jquery and I have a question regarding the validate plugin. How can I make the error messages appear where I want them? Right now they appear to the right of the input field but I'd like them to appear below it or wherever i'd like
I have added a rule to my form but I can't understand why it does not work! [URL]. This is an example page: the rules is that the check box must be checked and there must be a valid date. From firefox console I can see it returns true or false as I need but the validation does not get triggered. Why is that?
I am using JQuery Validate Plugin and it working perfectly but the problem is for error place when error message come it make my form display look bad due to error.
I will explain you howThis is my screen when the page is load
Now when I press the Add New Company Button
You can see that look is getting bad. What is the solution for this. how can I stop this.
I tried assigning 2 error classes to an error message (as a span), but when the empty field was fixed, the error message wouldn't disappear.
$ ( "#testForm" ) .
[Code]....
With 1 error class it works fine, but adding a second one makes it fail. Here are some links, just hit the submit button a few times on each one to see what I mean
I want the error messages to appear below the text boxes, not to the right. I have my own text after some of my text boxes and with the default settings the error appears between the text box and my text. Looks weird that way. I'd rather have the errors below each element. I tried with the below but didn't get anywhere. I want ALL errors below. Not sure what to do. errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.appendTo( element.parent("td").next("td") ); },
I am using both the jQuery Validation plugin and the datePicker plugin. I would like to get the error message for this showing after the calendar icon for the datePicker plugin. I have tried this and cannot get it to work and so far not found a solution on any website I have checked.
jQuery Validation code $(document).ready(function() { $("#adminform").validate({ submitHandler: function(form) { SubmittingForm(); }, rules: { date: { required: true, date: true }}, errorPlacement: function(error, element) { if(element.type == 'input') { error.insertAfter(element.sibling(a)); } else { error.insertAfter(element); }}}); }); Trying the sibling thing was my last probably silly attempt at getting this working.
HTML output when the field fails validation <fieldset> <legend>Update Date</legend> <label for="date" class="admin">Date of Run: </label> <input type="text" class="date-pick dp-applied error" size="7" value="" name="date" id="date"> <label for="date" generated="true" class="error">This field is required.</label> <a title="Choose date" class="dp-choose-date" href="#">Choose date</a> </fieldset> As you can see the label for the error is placed inbetween the input field and <a> for the calendar image. How to get this label to show after the <a>.
I must be missing something, is there not an easy way to validate inline?
For example, I have a required text input that is given focus on page load, I would like for it to throw an error if the user moves to the next field w/o entering any data.
I have a form (form1) to register with the fields: user, email, password being validated normally.
Have a second form (Form2) to the user update the data registered in form1, and the fields user, email, password is already populated with data from the database, the email field I use the remote validation, and as the field already has been completed and read always says that this email already exists, how do I create a rule or method so that when the field is already filled it not do so validating and validate if it is filled with a new email. Email2 have a hidden field in order to do a test type.
I'm working under certain constraints wherein,at a certain point outside my direct control,validate is called with no arguments, but after that I want to set a custom validation function on a form field. I figure there's got to be a way to manipulate validate's internal data structure to add the function, but I don't have a clue as to how.
I have a section of a form containing elements that are not visible, currently just in a hidden div. Some of these elements have validation on them so when the form is submitted it fails on this validation.What I am after is a way to stop the validation firing for any hidden elements. I have tried setting them to 'display: none' and 'visibility: hidden' but this does not have any affect.
validator [URL]..Plugins/Validationis not compatible with ui.dialog? In asp.net3.5 environment, if I show a dialog with the div containing the fields to validate, validation option are cleared and validator return always true.
The validation works as expected but regardless of whether the form is valid or not, the button takes me to the next panel. I think what I need to do is add something to the jQuery that will run "btn_P1_Next_Click" but only when form1 is valid, otherwise it will keep me on the same panel. Also within the jQuery I would need to account for the current panel, e.g. so if I am on panel1 then run "btn_P1_Next_Click", on panel2 run"btn_P2_Next_Click"...
I have to code an errorPlacement for my form checkboxes. The form works good with the default behavior; but I don't get how to code a special errorPlacement for the checkboxes. I used the Milk form demo. My working form (less the checkboxes) is at [URL] and the non-working one is [URL]. I know this must be really basic but I really new at this (I'm just a designer doing his best!)
I have a form with two buttons: "Delete" and "View". A checkbox is required for all actions. Validation happens when a button is clicked. If it's "View", it is just a normal operation.
However, if it's "Delete", if the form is valid, it then needs to show a confirmation before form submission via custom handler (submitHandler). submitHandler: function(form) { if (confirmDelete()) { form.submit (); } }
Problem: How do I know if the button is Edit or Delete inside submitHandler? The function above open the dialog even for "View" button.
I am using the "Validation" plugin to validate my form. This is a multipart form where a user can upload a file. I would like to validate the choosen file name such that it contains only alphanumeric characters plus defined extensions. For that I tried the combination of the rules "accept" and "alphanumeric" but this does not work because the file name is the full path of the file name and it contains non alphanumeric characters as: C:umyDirectorymyFile.txt
regular expression which could tests that myFile is made only of alphanumeric characters ?
