I'm having a hard time using jQuery Validation. In particular, I'm trying to remove the error message from the label tag and put it inside a div.
I have 5 blocks of radio buttons. Each block looks like this:
<div class="question-wrapper required">
<div class="question-title required">
<div class="question-box required">1.</div><h1>Question # 1</h1>
</div>
<div class="error-wrapper">
<p><input type="radio" name="q1" class="q1 required" value="value1">Value 1</p>
<p><input type="radio" name="q1" class="q1 required" value="value2">Value 2</p>
<p><input type="radio" name="q1" class="q1 required" value="value3">Value 3</p>
<p><input type="radio" name="q1" class="q1 required" value="value4">Value 4</p>
<p><input type="radio" name="q1" class="q1 required" value="value5">Value 5</p>
</div><!--error-wrapper-->
</div><!--question-wrapper-->
My jQuery code looks like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#music").validate({
rules: {
q1: {required: true},
q2: {required: true},
q3: {required: true},
q4: {required: true},
q5: {required: true},
},
messages: {
q1: {required: "Select song 1"},
q2: {required: "Select song 2"},
q3: {required: "Select song 3"},
q4: {required: "Select song 4"},
q5: {required: "Select song 5"},
},
errorElement: "div",
errorLabelContainer: "#messageBox",
wrapper: "span",
errorClass: "invalid"
});
});
The problem is when run, the error code block looks like this:
<div htmlfor="q1" generated="true" class="invalid" style="">Select song 1</div>
Which is proving problematic for my attempts to position the error message. Any ideas why?
