validator

in Using jQuery Plugins • 10 years ago

The jquery validator pluging is not validating with the W3C: Error Line 190, Column 36: The for attribute of the label element must refer to a form control.

 <label for="topic" class="error">Please select at least two topics you'd lik…

Does anyone know if there is a solution to this? I'm new to jquery so it might be something simple.

That's pretty funny that the validator plugin page does not validate.

http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo/ is just a demo page.

Being a w3c valid page has nothing to do with real life. 99 44/100% of all pages on the Internet are not w3c valid.

PS I made up that number, but I would bet it is close!

Hi Jake,

Thank you for responding. The demo page doesn't validate. I need my markup to validate for a class. I was able to solve the error.

I added an input type to the markup and it validates now: <label for="topic" class="error"><input type="text" id="topic" value="topic" name="topic" >Please select at least two topics you'd like to receive.</label>

I also added this to messages:

topic: {

required: "This field is required.",

minlength: "Pleaase check at least 2."

It works beautifully. Thank you. Also, I tried to get back to my post to enter this information but I couldn't find it ...

Don't get hung up on the word validate. Just because the HTML page doesn't validate (html syntax), doesn't mean your page can't validate data entered.
