Control error message

[thovo]

Hi,

Could I catch the error type and give a specific message for each error?
Example:

<input class="nt-cover-file" type="file" id="nt-cv" value="2097152" name="fileCoverLetter" data-validation="file mime size" data-validation-allowing="rtf,msword,pdf,x-mswrite,docx,doc" data-validation-max-size="2M" data-validation-error-msg=" "/>

I am checking for mime type of the file and size of the file. I write a callback when this input has been validated but I don't know what type of error, I just can check it is valid or not and give only one message like that:

if(!isValid){
        $(this).attr('data-validation-error-msg', 'You have not chosen a file, or file is not supported or too large');
      }

Does plugin have any way to check it?

Thanks,
Tho Vo

Hm... There's no good solution for this at the moment. I'm thinking that it should be implemented like this:

<input type="file" name="photo"
    data-validation="mime size" 
    data-validation-allowing="jpg" 
    data-validation-max-size="1M"
    data-validation-error-msg-size="The image is too large, max 1 MB"
    data-validation-error-msg-mime="The file must be an image of type JPG" />

Will have it fixed in next release!

Will be great for customization to disable error text message option, and option to specify ID of element where to show error text.

You can point all error messages to a specific element http://formvalidator.net/#configuration_position (have the element hidden if you don't want them to be displayed)
