JQuery Validate: remote - the username will not change in the error message

Question

• I am creating a registration form with Bassistance jQuery Validate, checking if the username is being used.
• Everything works, if I fill in a username that is already in the database, a message like "xxxxxxx" is already used ..
• However, if I fill out another username that is already in use (for example, yyyyy), the message continues to say: "xxxxxxx is already in use."
• This behavior is also present in the "official" demo at http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/milk/ - if I first fill in "Peter" and then I fill in "George", the message says: "Peter already in use "
• I was wondering if anyone found a fix for this?

My code is:

remote: jQuery.format("{0} is already in use.")

Answer 1

Just looked through the jQuery Validate plugin code and they have a bug in the code where they cache error messages forever, which leads to what you see.

You are a small piece of code correct, they have an error at their end.
