Question

I am currently using the jquery validation plugin that can be found at: http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/. I have been searching google and am having issues figuring out how to make the error appear in the textbox that triggers the error on submit. I am open to using a different plug-in if this result can be achieved in a much simpler manner.

Any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks.

I think you need to call the error placement function:

    

    $("#form_id").validate({
        rules: {
            field: { required: true, email: true }
        },
        messages: {
            field: { required: "" , email: ""}
        },
        errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
            if (element.attr("id") == "field_id") {
                $('#target_error_placement_id').html(error);
            }
         }
    });

    

Is that your problem?
