Question

I am trying to customize the error messages shown by Jquery Validate,
It is currently showing "Email is already taken", but what I want is for example the user entered [e-mail], and it’s already taken, I want to see "[e-mail]" is already taken. My field ID is user_email, I tried using $('#user_email).val() in the example but it’s not showing. I have the fallowing code.
Thanks in advance!

remote: {
  url: user_email_availability_url,
  beforeSend: function() {
  },
  complete: function() {
  }
}

messages: {
  "user[email]": {
  remote:  $('#user_email').val() + "is already taken",
  email: 'Invalid email address'
},

Answer 1

perhaps you should try making that message a function (I believe that’s possible):

remote: function(value) {
 return value + " is already taken"
 }
