Question

I’m using the jQuery Validation Plugin on my page and have the following code for errorPlacement:

errorPlacement: function(err, el) {
  err.insertAfter(el);
}

Works as intended but for the required fields I don’t want the default message to show up for the required rule. So if Email has rules for required and email, I only want the error message to display if it is for the email rule, not the required rule. Is there a way to disable just the required message?

Answer 1

$('#myForm').validate({
    rules: {
       myField: {
            required: true,
            email: true
       }
    },
    messages: {
       myField: {
            required: "",
            email: "my email rule error message"
       }
    },

    //  my other options & configuration parameters
});
