 Try this workaround - updatevalidator.settings.messages[element.name]
 with the appropiate value inside your validation method:

   Hello group!

   Very happy to have deployed validation plugin ( I mostly need to check
   validity of EAN/UPC numbers for barcode generation). You can see it in
   action here:http://www.barcoderobot.com/ean-13.html

   The question I am struggling with though is howto return a
   'dynamically generated' message. Say, '13 digits are required, you
   have XX'?

   $.validator.addMethod(dynamic_check, function(value) {
          if(_value is incorrect_){

   }, 'dynamic message goes here');

Jörn,

many thanks - this has worked wonderfully!

The only remaining question I have is as follows:

messages generated by specified validation methods clear automatically
after the form field gets updated:

so in the chain of required,digits,minlength,maxlength each message
comes and goes as needed. This seems not be the case with the solution
you have suggested. Once specified the this.settings.messages
[element.name] sticks and does not clear.

How to reset it back to nothing and re-launch validation chain when
the form value changes?

With kind regards,
Thomas

Ah, good question. Try this:

$.validator.addMethod(dynamic_check, function(value, element, param) {
 if(incorrect(value, param)){
   this.settings.messages[element.name].dynamic_check = some
dynamic message
+ dynamicValue;
   return false;
 }
}, whatever));

That sets the new message only for this method.
