Put quotes (double or single) around the name:
"intro-currentFirstName": "Please enter a valid email"
Technically/ideally that's what all the "keys" should be list as they
are strings. It's just an allowed "shortcut" to leave off the quotes.

This script does not work for me when I have a "-" in my rules
$(document).ready(function() {
$.validator.setDefaults({
debug: true
});
var container = $('div.container');
// validate the form when it is submitted
$("#form1").validate({
errorContainer: container,
errorLabelContainer: $("ol", container),
wrapper: 'li',
rules: {
intro-currentFirstName: { required:true, email:true },
phone: { required:true, minLength: 3 },
address: { required:true,minLength:3 }
},
messages: {
intro-currentFirstName: "Please enter a valid email",
phone: "Please enter a valid phone",
age: "Please specify your age as a number (at least 3)."
}
//event: "keyup"
});
});
The above does not work.
It gives me an error saying missing ":"
But as soon as I change the field name to introCurrentFirstName instead of
intro-currentFirstName it starts working.
Any ideas?
