I'm trying to write a custom display for the error messages on my form. Ideally I'd like to use a modal pop-up window to display the errors, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to prevent the validation plugin from automatically displaying the errors on my page AND I can't quite figure out how to access the individual error messages for the elements on my form.
What I want to do is to allow users to save invalid forms, but to warn them that they are invalid to make them confirm that they want to save. I have something like this: invalidHandler: function(form, validator) { //some code here figuring out if specific elements are within maxlength so as not to blow up the db if (canSave) { //canSave determined in the comments above var msg = "There are errors..."; for(errors in validator.errors) { msg = msg + "<br/>" + errors.message; } jConfirm(msg, 'You can still save!', function(r) { if (r){ document.forms['myform'].submit(); } else { } }); if ( } else { jAlert('Cannot save right now', 'Unable to save'); } } Can I get access to the list of errors from the validator or even individually for each element in my form? and Can I turn off the auto showing of errors? Thanks!
