How can I make two message in password confirmation in jQuery validate?

My html code like this :
<form class="validatedForm" id="commentForm" method="get" action="">
<fieldset>
<input name="password" id="password" />
<input name="password_confirmation" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<button>Validate</button>
My javascript code to validate with jquery validate like this :
jQuery('.validatedForm').validate({
rules: {
"password": {
minlength: 6
},
"password_confirmation": {
minlength: 6,
equalTo : "#password"
}
},
messages: {
"password": 'Please enter a password, minimal 6 characters',
"password_confirmation": 'Please confirm your password'
},
});
Demo and full code like this : http://jsfiddle.net/oscar11/fEZFB/609/
If user input password : abcdef, then click button validate, there exist messsage : "Please confirm your password"
If user input password confirmation : ghijkl, there exist message : "Please confirm your password"
I want to change the message if user input password confirmation not same
The message like this : "confirm your password is not the same"
So there exist two message :
If user not input password confirmation, the message : "Please confirm your password"
If user input password confirmation, but not same with password, the message : "confirm your password is not the same"
How can I do it?

I think this will cover what you're looking for. You aren't limited to one message per input - you can set one for each rule on each input. I added a break in your HTML to make it more readable.
<form class="validatedForm" id="commentForm" method="get" action="">
<fieldset>
<input name="password" id="password" /><br/>
<input name="password_confirmation" id="password_confirmation" />
</fieldset>
</form>
<button>Validate</button>
Updated script:
jQuery('.validatedForm').validate({
rules: {
"password": {
minlength: 6,
required: true
},
"password_confirmation": {
equalTo: "#password"
}
},
messages: {
"password": {
minLength: "Password must be at least 6 charachters",
required: "Password is required."
},
"password_confirmation": {
equalTo: "The password and confimation fields don't match"
}
},
});
$('button').click(function () {
console.log($('.validatedForm').valid());
});
I added a required rule to the password so clicking validate with a blank form generates a message. I removed the minlength on the confirmation- it only needs to be equal to the password, and it has a minlength. Too short of a password has its own message, and when the password is long enough you'll get a different message when the confirmation field is empty or otherwise not equal to the password. You can see it in the fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/oscar11/fEZFB/609/

materialize cant set data-error

Im trying to use a library called jquery validate which just takes form inputs and returns success or error messages. With materialize I can use the data-error and data-success. I cant get the error working at all. I see it changes in the console but not on the webpage. Until I click off an input the go back to an input i know is wrong then it gives me an error warning
Even then the error is not persistent it disappears when i click onto another input again.
I can see by watching the inspector a valid class appears in the input.
I will post my code below any explanations why this happens would be appreciated:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#signup_form").validate({
rules: {
first_name: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
last_name: {
required: true,
minlength: 2
},
user_name: {
required: true,
maxlength: 3
}
},
//For custom messages
messages: {
first_name: {
required: "Enter your first name",
text: true,
minlength: "Enter at least 2 characters"
},
last_name: {
required: "Enter your second name",
text: true,
minlength: "Enter at least 2 characters"
},
user_name: {
required: "Enter a username",
maxlength: "Enter at least 3 characters"
}
},
errorClass: 'invalid',
validClass: "valid",
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
$(element)
.closest("form")
.find("label[for='" + element.attr("id") + "']")
.attr('data-error', error.text());
}
});
});

<input id="user_name" type="text" name="user_name" class="validate">

</div>
</div>
</form>
Too see the error start typing the click off the input and back on the type another letter its weird

Just incase someone comes across this in the future I wont take it down. Look through your inputs and remove the class 'validate'.
I'm not entirely sure but what I think happens is the validate class is looking at the input and testing for any of the markup contstraints i.e. max, min, step, type etc. This will add the valid class to all inputs regardless of the rules set in validate() because it fulfils the requirements made in markup.
So when we remove the validate class the validate library can act accordingly.

jquery validator continues even though all rules have not been met

I have basic html and want to validate the fields with jQuery validator so I have less validation on php level. The form validates if all fields are empty and prevents submission to php but as soon as I complete 1 input the form sumits (even if all other fields are blank). All fields are required so I'm stumped - please help!
After some of your advice I have redone my validation on php level but it has the exact same effect. If all the fields are empty the validation works, as soon as 1 field is filled in the form submits.
jQuery: I ran it through JSLint and it yielded no errors - unbelievable right?!
$().ready(function () {
"use strict";
$('#register').validate({
rules: {
firstname: {
required: true,
maxLength: 40
},
lastname: {
required: true,
maxLength: 40
},
email: {
required: true,
maxLength: 64,
email: true
},
password: {
required: true,
minLength: 6,
maxLength: 32
},
confirmPassword: {
required: true,
equalTo: "#password"
},
rsaid: {
required: true,
digits: true
}
},
messages: {
firstname: {
required: "Please enter your first name.",
maxLength: "Your first name cannot exceed 40 characters."
},
lastname: {
required: "Please enter your last name.",
maxLength: "Your last name cannot exceed 40 characters."
},
email: {
required: "Please enter your email address.",
maxLength: "Your email address cannot exceed 64 characters.",
email: "The email format provided is invalid."
},
password: {
required: "Please enter a password.",
minLength: "Your password must contain at least 6 characters.",
maxLength: "Your password cannot contain more than 32 characters."
},
confirmPassword: {
required: "Please confirm your password.",
equalTo: "Your passwords do not match!"
},
rsaid: {
required: "Please enter a valid RSA id number.",
//exactLength: "Your ID number must contain 13 characters!",
digits: "Your ID number must consist of numerals only!"
}
},
errorContainer: $('#errorContainer'),
errorLabelContainer: $('#errorContainer ul'),
wrapper: 'li'
});
});
html: Shouldn't be necessary but just in case :)
<div class="registrationForm">
<form id="register" action="php/insert.php" method="post">
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="firstname" placeholder="First Name" value="" class="radius mini" />
<input type="text" id="lastname" name="lastname" placeholder="Last Name" value="" class="radius mini"/>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" placeholder="Your Email" value="" class="radius" />
<input type="password" id="password" name="password" placeholder="New Password" value="" class="radius" />
<input type="password" id="confirmPassword" name="confirmPassword" placeholder="Confirm Password" value="" class="radius" />
<input type="text" id="rsaid" name="rsaid" placeholder="RSA ID Number" value="" class="radius" />
<button class="radius title" name="signup">Sign Up for SFC</button>
</form>
</div>
PHP code: This contains code for only the first 3 fields as password validation is long and irrelevant. The code returns no errors on phpcodechekcer.com.
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") {
if (empty($_POST["firstname"])) {
$firstnameErr = "First name is required";
} else {
$firstname = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['firstname']);
}
if (empty($_POST["lastname"])) {
$lastnameErr = "Last name is required";
} else {
$lastname = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['lastname']);
}
if (empty($_POST["email"])) {
$emailErr = "Email address is required";
} else {
if (!isValidEmail($_POST["email"])) {
$emailErr = "Email address is invalid";
} else {
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($link, $_POST['email']);
}
}
}

better make validation on server side, if your client turn off javascript on browser then all data will send to server without any validation

It's to be need jquery file link on header of html.

Perhaps it's because you are not using fieldset enclosing?
On the other side, you may look towards plain HYML5 validation.

How to validate input fields with a dot in name using the jquery validation plugin?

I'm using this jquery validation plugin
<s:textfield cssClass="form-control input-default" name="contest.title" id="title" placeholder="Enter Title"
/>
Validation doesn't work for this, but if I change the name to title - validation works.
I tried searching, but couldn't find a means to validate fields with a . in their name.
Please help
Update
Script
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jQuery("#contestform").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
// return false; // block the default submit action
},
rules: {
title: {
required: true
},
link: {
required: true
},
startdt: {
required: true
},
enddt: {
required: true
},
descr: {
required: true
},
},
messages: {
title: "Please enter a title",
link: "Please enter the sponser redirection link",
startdt: "Please select start date",
enddt: "Please select end date",
descr: "Please enter description"
}
});
});
</script>
Part of the form
<form action="" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post" id="contestform">
<s:hidden name="option" value="option"/>
<s:hidden name="contest.idcontest"/>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="title">Title</label>
<s:textfield cssClass="form-control input-default" name="contest.title" id="title" placeholder="Enter Title"
/>
</div>

You need to put the field names in qoutes. From the plugin documentation
Fields with complex names (brackets, dots)
When you have a name attribute like user[name], make sure to put the
name in quotes. More details in the General Guidelines.
The sample in the linked reference:
$("#myform").validate({
rules: {
// no quoting necessary
name: "required",
// quoting necessary!
"user[email]": "email",
// dots need quoting, too!
"user.address.street": "required"
}
});

jQuery Validate: Retaining error after validation

I have a simple login form and have jQuery validate replacing the field labels when there's an error to display. The problem is that, once the error is cleared, the label disappears. I would like to find a way to revert back to the previous label's content, or rebuild that label when the field is valid...
Here's my code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#login").validate({
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
element.prev().replaceWith(error);
},
rules: {
"email": {
required: true,
email:true,
},
"password": {
required: true,
minlength: 6
}
},
messages: {
email: {
required: "Please enter your email address.",
email: "Please enter a <u>valid</u> email address"
},
password: {
required: "Please enter your password.",
minlength: "Please enter a password with 6 characters or more."
}
},
});
});
And the HTML:
<form name="login" id="login" method="post" action="authenticate.php">
<p>
<label for="email">Email Address:</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="required email" />
</p>
<p>
<label for="password">Password:</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" class="required" />
</p>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Log In" id="submit" />
</p>
In essence, when the user submits the form, if there's no data in the Email field, then the label for email gets replaced with the error. But once it has valid input, I want to put back the original label.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

I actually worked out a compromise whereby, instead of replacing the previous label with the error label, I'm appending a span into that label using error.appendTo(element.prev()) and errorElement: "span". Here's the new code:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#login").validate({
errorElement: "span",
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
error.appendTo(element.prev());
//element.prev().replaceWith(error);
},
rules: {
"email": {
required: true,
email:true,
},
"password": {
required: true,
minlength: 6
}
},
messages: {
email: {
required: " is Required",
email: " is Improperly Formatted"
},
password: {
required: " is Required",
minlength: " is not Long Enough"
}
},
});
});
It's less than ideal, but at least when the span appears, the error code is where I want it to be, and when it disappears, the label remains intact. I just made it so the label and the error complete each other like sentences... Eg, "Email Address" " is required." or "Email Address" " is not properly formatted."
Thanks to everybody that contributed here,

You can remove
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
element.prev().replaceWith(error);
},
and the messages should appear beside the textboxes instead.

You can try to removeChild(label),and attach a new one to it when the error accur. Toggling the label seems to make sence
