jquery validate plugin override error message for required: -

so have been trying global override of fields class 'required'. got can add red background field fails validation class required so:

$("#signup_form").validate({     errorclass: "validateerror" }); 

i have tried using errorplacement: function others have mentioned remove error param so:

$("#signup_form").validate({     errorclass: "validateerror"     errorplacement: function (error, elemenet) {        error.remove();     }, }); 

this kills validation entirely.

one forum mentioned need specify each field validation expect , override default 'required' message nothing in messages: function. how can set globally seeing setup needs dynamic anticipate field class required set it?

thanks lot

to style elements have validation errors, target default class errors css. default class error.

.error {     background-color: #ff0000; } 

or perhaps more specifically:

input.error {     background-color: #ff0000; }

to globally change validation error messages plugin, use this:

jquery.extend(jquery.validator.messages, {     required: "your message here" });

to remove error messages entirely, place return false; inside errorplacement callback function:

errorplacement: function () {     return false; }
