Question

  errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
        if (element.next().attr("id") == "errordiv") {
            element.next().remove();
        }
    var msg = error.get(0).textContent;  
        error.insertAfter(element);
    },

I want to get error content after jquery.validate function triggered. In the errorPlacement of the code blog as you see above error.get(0).textContent can provide msg in every browser except ie 8, I think this cause from JSON parsing problem in ie8, do you have any solution for this ?

Answer 1

Use error.text() instead of error.get(0).textContent.

When you call get(0) jQuery returns a DOM element at 0th index and IE8 do not support textContent property to a DOM element it has innerText property which is equivalent to textContent. If you call text() method on a jQuery object it will take care of cross browser issues and return the content correctly.
