validatebox return message from remote validator

[phunksta]

The 'remote' validation is defined as:

Code:

$.extend($.fn.validatebox.defaults.rules,{
	remote: {
		validator: function(value, param){
			var data = {};
			data[param[1]] = value;
			var response = $.ajax({
				url:param[0],
				dataType:'json',
				data:data,
				async:false,
				cache:false,
				type:'post'
			}).responseText;
			return response == 'true';
		},
		message: 'Please fix this field.'
	}
})

It requires the server to return the 'true' string with no "\n" character.

Regarding the above where 'validator' is defined for a validatebox, is it possible to compose a message during the validator function and have this appear in the box's tooltip?

You can change the displaying message in the 'validator' function. Please refer to

Code:

validator: function(value,param){
	var opts = $(this).validatebox('options');
	opts.rules['remote']['message'] = ...;
	...
},
