Do we have any function which returns all the error messages while validating a form?
I have tried using the defaultshowerros() function but it returns the error message for the element it is currently validating. How can I get all the error messages of the whole form?
If you store a reference to the validator, for example:
var validator = $(form).validate();
You can call .errors() or .invalidElements() at any time on it, for example:
var errors = validator.errors(); //get the error elements, the actual labels
var errors = validator.invalidElements(); //the invalid elements themselves
If you're not really after the errors and just want them to appear in once place, use the built-in errorLabelContainer and wrapper options, for example:
<ul id=errors></ul>
And reference that:
$(form).validate({ errorLabelContainer: #errors, wrapper: li });
And your errors would appear all in that list, which is also automatically shown/hidden if there are/aren't any errors.
