Comment on How to change the way jQuery.validate handles error messages by Tapan Sodagar

I am using jquery validate for my form validations. I have displayed all the errors at the top of the form by using the below code.

errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
error.insertAfter($(“span#errorContainer”));
}

Everything is okay and working as expected but having design problem with IE7. If errors get validated success the errors message goes away but the label stays on the pages and the blank labels keep space in IE7 as i have given display:block in the css to line all of them vertically. Any help would be appreciated.

Sure, you can do a custom error validation that will inspect the name of the field that is being reported as having an error and appending the error to a div in one of the two locations you specified. If the field is 1-5 then add the error to the first div, otherwise add them to the last div.

So you can just follow scenario two and just check for the name attribute of the element to determine if it should be placed in error container one or two.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have a long form with many questions. I would like to display errors for the first 5 questions above question #1. I would like to display errors for the remaining questions above question #6. As it is now, all errors are displayed above question #1, but this requires too much scrolling up and down.

Is it possible to have two error containers, both displaying errors for two different groups of questions?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike.

At the bottom of your page, when you are setting your form up for validation, you do so by calling

$(“#formid”).validate({ … });

The options I mention above are passed as an object to the validate method to configure the validation for the selected form (“#formid”).

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Mitch

Okay, nevermind. Research will do a body good I suppose . I finally used the proper search terms and found what I was looking for. However, one other question – is it possible to use multiple validate() to handle different needs, or will I have to incorporate it into one function?

Thanks!

Mike

So I have a really dumb question I think. First of all, I am very new to JQuery (though am familiar with JS and DOM, etc. I am using (attempting to use) this pluging because it seems fantastic. The validation, of course, is no problem. However, the placement of the error messages are. While I will need a few more options than listed above, this is a great start to learning what needs and can be done. So thanks for that.

So, the dumb question – where in the world do I add this? And how does it interact with the rest of the jquery.validate.js?

Thanks!

Sorry it did not work for you Oscar.

jQuery.Validation can be a bit troublesome sometimes.

Unluckily it doesn’t fix the validation problem between jQuery Validate and Internet Explorer. Just a very simple form validation with only one field and check if this field is fielded in, Internet Explorer returns true, the other browsers return false, I don’t know why is that. I tried to set the charset to ISO-8859-1, and no, it didn’t fix.

By the way thanks for this article.

Hi Mitch,

Great post. I have just stumbled across your work. I too have been working with DNN for around 7 years and am in the process of writing my first new app. I desperately want to go down the MVC route and your framework looks like the perfect solution. You mentioned that you would be providing some more posts on working with BigfootDNN, any progress on that or do you have any more guidance on using your framework.

Thanks,
Linda
