Set Defaults stopped working

[attiqeurrehman]

Hi,

I have recently did an upgrade of jQuery and jQuery Validation to the latest version of both. But this caused my defaults to stop working(validation is working) on some pages even though all pages share the same master page (where code is placed).

Here's the code:

$.validator.setDefaults({
                    highlight: function (element) {
                        console.log('highlight');
                        $(element).closest('.form-group').addClass('has-error');
                    },
                    unhighlight: function (element) {
                        console.log('unhighlight');
                        $(element).closest('.form-group').removeClass('has-error');
                    },
                    errorElement: 'span',
                    errorClass: 'help-block',
                    errorPlacement: function (error, element) {
                        console.log('errorPlacement');
                        if (element.parent('.input-group').length) {
                            error.insertAfter(element.parent());
                        } else {
                            if ($(element).parent().prop("tagName") == "LI") {
                                error.insertAfter(element.parent().parent());
                            } else if ($(element).next().next().prop("tagName") == "SPAN") {
                                error.insertAfter($(element).next().next());
                            } else {
                                error.insertAfter(element);
                            }
                        }
                    }
                });

It goes into the plugin code but defaults are not set. Any pointers as to where can I look?

Thanks,
Attiqe

May I guess that you are using the updated jQuery version in noConflict mode?

Could you please tell us exactly which versions of both libs you are using? Any errors? Which version worked correctly before?

I am using jQuery v 2.1.4 and jQuery Validation v 1.14.0, no error and previously I used jQuery 2.0.3 and jQuery Validation 1.13.1.

But latest libraries are working on jsfiddle. I have also tried to debug it, Here's my findings:

// http://jqueryvalidation.org/jQuery.validator.setDefaults/
setDefaults: function( settings ) {
    $.extend( $.validator.defaults, settings );
}

At this point here is the $.validator.defaults

and settings are

after extending them $.extend it becomes

this means that it have picked up my settings but it's not applying it(here's the generated html after validating):

<div class="form-group">
       <label class="col-sm-5 control-label">Experience <small>(in years) </small></label>
       <div class="col-sm-7">
            <input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$EmployeeSkillExperience" type="text" maxlength="4" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience" class="form-control error" required="required" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="true">
            <label id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience-error" class="error" for="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience">This field is required.</label>
       </div>
</div>

It should have been like this:

<div class="form-group has-error">
       <label class="col-sm-5 control-label">Experience <small>(in years) </small></label>
       <div class="col-sm-7">
              <input name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$EmployeeSkillExperience" type="text" maxlength="4" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience" class="form-control" required="required" aria-required="true" aria-describedby="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience-error" aria-invalid="true">
             <span id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_EmployeeSkillExperience-error" class="help-block">This field is required.</span>
         </div>
</div>

Did you make sure that the lib is not loaded twice?

I am not sure how to check it. I have only wrote them onetime.
