Using JQuery Validation plugin, I am trying to call the .valid() method without the side-effects of displaying error messages on screen. I have tried a number of scenarios with no success, my latest being:

$('#signup').validate({
            showErrors: function() { return; },
            errorElement: "",
            errorClass: "",
            errorPlacement: function() { },
            invalidHandler: function() { },
            highlight: function(element, errorClass) { },
            unhighlight: function(element, errorClass) { }
        });

$('#displayPurposes').text("Valid: " + $("#EMailAddress_EmailAddress").valid());

Whilst the .valid() call is working correctly it is still causing side-effects of displaying error messages.

I don’t want this to happen, help please.

    Well instead of trying to disable any error placement made by the plugin you could use CSS to ‘force’ hiding the create error messages elements. Something like:

    label.myvalidationclass { display: none !important; }

    Where myvalidationclass is either the default error class name or your own.

    I’m aware it is not a very nice solution but in my opinion, displaying error messages is one of the core feature of the plugin.
