Errors and warnings. about jquery-validator HOT 3 CLOSED

I think this may be beyond the scope of this plugin. I understand the use case and appreciate the suggestion, but I think I'm going to pass for now.

If you implement it sometime and are happy enough with the result to submit a pull request, I'll gladly reconsider. :)

I see your point. However, only a minor modification will help me to achieve my goal. The "data-validations" validation attribute is hard-coded in the source code (line 44). All I need is that the validations attribute name can be specified in the method just like events, selector, preventDefault, etc. Something like this (showing diff output):

9a10

      validation_attr         : "validations",

38c39

< validate : function (selector, callback) {

      validate : function (selector, validation_attr, callback) {

44c45

< var validation_rules = $(this).data("validations"),

              var validation_rules = $(this).data(validation_attr),

322a324,327
if (!options.validation_attr) {
options.validation_attr = defaults.validation_attr;
}

327c332

< var valid = validations.validate(options.selector || this, options.callback);

                  var valid = validations.validate(options.selector || this, options.validation_attr, options.callback);

Then my code would be as follows:

$.fn.errors = function (method) {
method.validation_attr = 'errors';
return $.fn.validator.call(this, method);
};

$.fn.warnings = function (method) {
method.validation_attr = 'warnings';
return $.fn.validator.call(this, method);
};

$('myform').errors({
events : 'submit',
selector : 'input[type!=submit], select, textarea',
preventDefaultIfInvalid : true,
callback : function(elem, valid) {
if (!valid) {
$(elem).addClass('error');
} else {
$(elem).removeClass('error');
}
}
});

$('myform').warnings({
events : 'blur change',
selector : 'input[type!=submit], select, textarea',
callback : function(elem, valid) {
if (!valid) {
$(elem).addClass('warning');
} else {
$(elem).removeClass('warning');
}
}
});

Sold. I'll try to add this as I work on tests.
