I'm looking for a jquery form validation plugin, which can give validation error as a "Alert"

Question

I'm looking for a easy to use jQuery form validation plugin, which give validation error as a "Alert". Because alert is the best way to inform screen reader users about errors.

Answer 1

You can modify the jQuery validation plugin.

$('form').validate({
              errorPlacement: function(error, element) {                
                 alert(error.text());
               }
          });

alert() may be useful for screen readers (citation?) but they are frustrating for everyone else. Anyone else agree?

Answer 2

Most of the validations plugins write out a summary of the issues onto the page. You could do a simple code change in the plugin to just do an alert() versus jquery writing it using .html()

Shouldn't be too painful of a mod, and something small to have some fun modifying a plugin.
