Jquery errorPlacement

Question

I have the following:

$("#pmtForm").validate({
            rules: {
                    acct_name: "required",                        
                    acct_type: "required",  
                    acct_routing:  { 
                                     required: true,    
                                     digits: true,
                                     exactLength:9
                                     }, 
                    acct_num:      { 
                                     required: true,    
                                     digits: true
                                     }, 
                    c_acct_routing:{ 
                                     equalTo: '#acct_routing'
                                     },     
                    c_acct_num:    { 
                                     equalTo: '#acct_routing'
                                     }      
            },
            messages: {
                    acct_name: "<li>Please enter an account name.</li>",
                    acct_type: "<li>Please choose an account type.</li>",
                    acct_routing: "<li>Please enter a routing number.</li>",
                    acct_num: "<li>Please enter an account number.</li>",
                    c_acct_routing: "<li>Please confirm the routing number.</li>",
                    c_acct_num: "<li>Please confirm the account number.</li>"
            },

        //  errorContainer: '#div.error',

            errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
                $('#errorList').html("");
                $('#errorList').append(error);
                $('div.error').attr("style","display:block;");  
            } 
        });

I am trying to insert error messages in a div above a form. My problem is that I am deleting this line: $ ('# errorList'). Html ("); then it displays error messages for the first time. If I click send one more time, it will add another set of messages to the div. If I save $ ('# errorList'). Html (" "); then I will get only one error message.

Enter your account number.

How to update the error list so that it does not repeat and correctly display error messages?

Answer 1

it works:

  $("#addPmtAcctForm").validate({
            rules: {
                    acct_name: "required",                        
                    acct_type: "required",  
                    acct_routing:  { 
                                     required: true,    
                                     digits: true,
                                     exactLength:9
                                     }, 
                    acct_num:      { 
                                     required: true,    
                                     digits: true
                                     }, 
                    c_acct_routing:{ 
                                     equalTo: '#acct_routing'
                                     },     
                    c_acct_num:    { 
                                     equalTo: '#acct_num'
                                     }      
            },
            messages: {
                    acct_name: "<li>Please enter an account name.</li>",
                    acct_type: "<li>Please choose an account type.</li>",
                    acct_routing: "<li>Please enter a routing number.</li>",
                    acct_num: "<li>Please enter an account number.</li>",
                    c_acct_routing: "<li>Please confirm the routing number.</li>",
                    c_acct_num: "<li>Please confirm the account number.</li>"
            },

            errorLabelContainer: $("ul", $('div.error')), wrapper: 'li',

            errorContainer: $('div.error'),

            errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
                $('#errorList').append(error);
            } 
        });

Answer 4

I think you just need to add this to your validation method. errorContainer: errorList errorLabelContainer: $("ol", container), wrapper: 'li',

Try it and see ...
