jQuery Forum

I forgot about this, just wondering if anyone ever looked at it or figured out a workaround?

changed this to a 'problem' instead of question, hopefully it gets noticed

Not sure if this is the same issue but I had problems with error messages not dissapearing if there were more than one.  (plugin version 1.6)

changing line 580 to add a var in front of closingPrompt  jquery.validationEngine fixed it in Firefox

1. if(!ajaxValidate){
               linkTofield = $.validationEngine.linkTofield(caller);
               var closingPrompt = "."+linkTofield; //fix by BW 2010-08-11
               $(closingPrompt).fadeTo("fast",0,function(){
                   $(closingPrompt).remove();
               });
   

I have the same problem (or rather similar), but I can't find any lines containing "closingPrompt" in my file jquery.validate.js. I use "jQuery Validation Plugin 1.8.1" - http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation. Is this a different one?

I've run into the same problem when trying to use two classes with the errorClass option.

A workaround I'm using is to use the Adjacent sibling css selector
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/selector.html#adjacent-selectors

1. $('#myFormId').validate( {
2.                 errorClass: "ui-state-error",
3.                 errorElement: "span"       
4. });
5. 
   
6. input.ui-state-error + span {
7.    display: inline-block !important;
8.    margin-left: 10px !important;
9.    font-weight: bold;
10. }

Where input.ui-state-error is the input that is being validated and has an error
And + span is the error string

Obviously this will only work when your error label is next to your error input
