[validate] Random Success Message

in Using jQuery Plugins • 12 years ago

I am using the jQuery Validate plugin and trying to generate random success messages. Eveything is working with this code.

var messages = ["Good!", "Great!", "Awesome!", "Super!", "Nice!"];
function successMessage() {
return messages[Math.floor(Math.random() * messages.length)];
}

and then:

success: function(label) {
label.addClass("valid").text(successMessage());
}

The problem is that the success message is being called on keyup so it is generating a success message with each keypress or when you click onto then off of a field. I tried this but it didn't work

success: function(label) {
    if(!$(this).hasClass("valid")){
    label.addClass("valid").text(successMessage());
    }

Any help would be great

So after further research and thinking. I'm pretty sure the problem is that the class of "valid" is being removed and added each time time form is validated (on keyup, submit, etc) I think the easiest thing to do may be to select the value of the label and look to see if the result matches the array, if so then don't do anything else add a success message. I could be wrong. I also don't think I articulated the question the best the first time. It just looks silly to have the validation message change while the user is typing.

I'm still open to ideas and suggestions.
