Help with siblings()
Help with siblings()
I guess I should first ask, am I trying to use this correctly?
I am trying to rewrite a date validation library and chance the popup errors to be inline indicators.
Everything works except the rendering of the message.
[code]function checkDate(inDate)
{
var strDate = inDate.value;
if (strDate == '')
{
$(inDate).parents('.datebox').css('backgroundColor','red');
$(inDate).siblings('.error').prepend("<strong><em>The date is a required field.</em></strong>");
return false;
}
...
[/code]
The row that is the datebox class that is the parent gets the css change, but the error div does not get populated with the message.
Any ideas?
