Does anyone know how to wrap the inner error string in a span? I\'m using the jQuery Validate plugin for my form and getting the default error message displaying in label tags,

Answer 1

you can define your error message like:

var validator = form.validate({
  rules: {
    username: {
      required: true,
      minlength: 3
    }
  },
  messages: {
    username: {
      required: ' required ',
      minlength: ''
    }
  },
