I am trying to use the showErrors() method as a back up to the client side validation, My form have server side validation that returns a json string of invalid fields and a message for each and I was hoping to use that along with showErrors().
It seems like the only way I can get showErrors() to work is to hard code the string to pass in. if I hard code validator.showErrors({"checknumber" : "The check number is required"}) it works like a charm. but var str = {myfieldnamevar : myerrormessagevar}; validator.showErrors(str) ; OR var str = '{"' + myfieldnamevar + '" : "' + myerrormessagevar + '"}'; validator.showErrors(str) ; neither work, what am I doing wrong? can I even pass the field and message in as a variable?
