Okay...
Another question. I'm having an odd issue with the message area of the
plugin, specifically with remote methods. When the remove method fires, as
in my original post. The problem is that I want to do some additional error
display when the error fires. Problem is that the message key appears to be
getting triggered whether there's an error fired or not.
For example, I'm checking to see if a key exists in the database. If it
does, the message should be displayed, AND the fom field containing the key
should have it's background color changed. The problem is that the
background color changes whether the msg is displayed or not. Is this a bug,
or intended behaviour?
Here's my code to this point.
messages: {
pagealias: {
required: 'Page alias is required',
remote: function(){
// also highlight the field containing the error
$field.pulse({
backgroundColors: ['#fffffff','#ea7f1e']
}).bind('focus', function(){
$(this).recover();
});
return 'This page alias is already in use';
}
}
}

remote error
Passing a function as a message happens all the time when using
$.format("... {0}") as messages. The function is expected to return the
formated message, so you can just return the string value you want to
display at the end of your function.

I'm using the validation plugin to validate a field remotely. The validation

validation fails.
I discovered that you can pass a function rather than a plain string as seen
below in the remote key. The problem is that when I do this, I lose the
ability to display a string of my choosing. Does anyone know how to
accomplish both?
messages: {
pagealias: {
required: 'Page alias is required',
remote: function(){
// highlight the field
$field.pulse();
// display message
'This page alias is already in use'
}
}
