Question

Trying to display a message for each text box which the user didn’t enter a value.

This is how HTML looks :

<tr>
<td class="TextBold">
<input name="ctl00$DefaultContent$ctl15" type="text" class="TextNormalJQH" style="width:36px;" /></td>
<td class="TextBold" align="left" valign="middle"></td>
</tr>

Jquery

 $(':text.TextNormalJQH').filter('[value=""]').closest('td').next().val() = "Answer is necessary";

The above statment throughs an error

Thanks in advance

You’ve got some work to do on your selectors.

$(':text[:empty]').parent('td').next('td').html("Answer is necessary");
