Using Parsley.js, is it possible to specify the element that should hold the error messages? I tried:
$('#myForm').parsley({
errors: {
container: {
$('#errorMessages')
}
}
});
But the error messages are still placed right after my form inputs.
I've added another data- attribute, data-parsley-errors-container="#element" that could allow you directly in dom to specify where the error messages will have to be displayed.
More info here: http://parsleyjs.org/doc/index.html#ui-for-field
Best
I returned true from the function provided with container key.
My HTML Element
<input type="text" class="input-small" errorSpan="yyy" id="ddd" name="ddd" value="" data-required="true">
<span id="yyy"></span>
Javascript
$('#abc').parsley({
errors: {
classHandler: function ( elem ) {}
, container: function ( elem, template, isRadioOrCheckbox ) {
//here i have span msg. id to be displayed as custom attribute in input element
$('#' + $(elem).attr('errorSpan')).html(template);
return true;//returning back boolean makes it work
}
, errorsWrapper: '<ul></ul>'
, errorElem: '<li></li>'
}
});
It also works if I return
return $('#' + $(elem).attr('errorSpan')).html(template);
Hope this helps......
You'll need to use a callback function to do so
Here a simple example to attach error messages to element parent for example.
$('#myForm').parsley({
errors: {
container: function ( elem ) {
return $( elem ).parent();
}
}
});
EDIT: Working on 1.1.10-dev, I changed the way to define the errors container like above. Careful, this is a BC Break;
data-parsley-errors-container="#your-div-id"
worked for me
<div class="form-group">
<label for="middle-name" class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12">Start Time</label>
<div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
<div class=" datetimepicker3 input-append timepick">
<input class="form-control" data-format="hh:mm" placeholder="HH:MM" type="text" name="startTime" data-parsley-errors-container="#startTimeErrorContainer" required="required" id="startTime" />
<span class="add-on"><i class="fa fa-clock-o icon-time"></i></span>
</div>
<div id="startTimeErrorContainer"></div>
</div>
@guillaumepotier I have try your code on jquerymobile and I do not show any error message display on screen. I want to add error-message to class "help-inline"
index.html
<script src="js/vendor/parsley.message.th.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/parsley.extend.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/vendor/parsley.min.js"></script>
...
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="A0_C1">From<i class="required-icon"></i></label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" id="A0_C1" name="A0_C1" value="" required="required" />
<span class="help-inline"></span>
</div>
</div>
parsley.message.th.js
window.ParsleyConfig = $.extend( true, {}, window.ParsleyConfig, {
errors: {
container: function ( elem ) {
return $(elem).parent().find(".help-inline");
}
}
});
UPDATE - Working solution on v1.1.9-dev
return $(elem).closest('.controls').find('.help-inline').append(template);
Just define classHandler function before Parsley library import, in my case, i'm using bootstrap and it's to apply error and valid classes on parent div (it has "form-group" class).
<script>
window.ParsleyConfig = {
classHandler: function ( parsleyField) {
// specify where parsley error-success classes will be set
return parsleyField.$element.parent();
// Change this to change the element to apply too
},
};
</script>
Now just add data-parsley validate to your form tag :
<form method="post" id="form1" data-parsley-validate>
When using bootstrap, you need to specify bootstrap error and valid classes too
<form method="post" id="form1" data-parsley-error-class="has-error" data-parsley-success-class="has-success" data-parsley-validate>
In order to get the "has-error" class set on the parent div on invalid/error state (same for valid too):
<div class="form-group has-error">
<label>Name</label>
<input class="form-control" type="text" id="name" name="name" required="" data-parsley-trigger="keyup" data-parsley-minlength="5">
<p class="help-block">Example help text here.</p>
</div>
This solution global to all fields.
