[jQuery] Re: How do I stop the form control (but not the label) itself receiving the error class

[Dave Stewart]

Jörn, Thanks!

That was what I wanted! A lot of jQuery plugins have so many options
that sometimes it's difficult to see the wood for the trees.

Thanks again for pointing this out
Diego, thank you also for your input into this matter.

Cheers,
Dave

Jörn,
highlight does exactly what I want if I pass it an empty function,
so that's great.
How about adding the option to pass null or false for those times
when you want to do nothing and just let the the error message take
the strain?
Cheers,
Dave

Great stuff!
In the meantime I'm looking forward to learning even more about your
fabulous, time-saving plugin.
Cheers!
Dave

Depends entirely on your code?
What gives the input the 'error' class in the first place?

 Pretty much sums it up really.
 I only want the error label (of class error) to be displayed, but
 not the class of the text box or such like to have it's class updated.
 Thanks,

SORRY - the word [jQuery Validation Plugin] was supposed to appear in
the title, but didn't.

To restate the problem:

When I validate a form using the jQuery Validation Plugin, when it
comes across a form element that doesn't validat, it does 2 things:

1. Adds, or shows the corresponding error label tag, and
2. Adds the error class to the form element.

I only want to do the first action, and I don't want the form element
to be altered.

Is this possible?
Thanks,
Dave

Seems like everything you need is right here:
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation#Error_messages

QUOTE:
Error messages
An error message displays a hint for the user about invalid elements,
and what is wrong. There are three ways to provide error messages. Via
the title attribute of the input element to validate, via error labels
and via plugin settings (option messages).
