How can I customize the unobtrusive validation JQuery messages in ASP NET MVC?

问题

I have a form, and when it does the unobtrusive validtaion I want it to show:

This message: "Please enter a value."

Instead of this message: "This Field is required."

I tried adding this at the end of my jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js file

(function ($) {
   $.extend($.validator.messages, {
     required: "Please enter a value."
   }); 
}(jQuery));

But it's just not working.

I also trying modifying directly the "messages" variable in jquery.validate.js file but it is not working either.

Could you please tell me how can I get this done?

If you're using the data annotation attributes and don't want to customize the message for each one (which, it appears by one of your comments that this is the case), I can see two options:

1) Create your own data annotation attribute and set a default message, and change all instances of [Required] to your new attribute.

2) You can try it in jQuery:

// reset the form's validator
$("form").removeData("validator");

// change the text on each required attribute
$(":input[data-val-required]").attr("data-val-required", "Please enter a value");

// reapply the form's validator
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse(document);

I tried this javascript in Chrome's console and everything seemed to work ok. The reason why you need to do this is because 1) the validation rules are cached by the browser so you need to clear them out (See this answer for more information). And 2) all of the error messages are in the html markup once the page is rendered, so that's where you need to change the validation messages.

Why don't you use ErrorMeesage on validation attrs

[Required(ErrorMessage="Please enter a value.")]

Edit: From ThisPost, it is another approach:

• Create App_GlobalResources folder for your project (right click to project -> Add -> Add ASP.NET folder -> App_GlobalResources).
• Add a resx file in that folder. Say MyNewResource.resx.
• Add resource key PropertyValueInvalid with the desired message format (e.g. "content {0} is invalid for field {1}"). If you want to change PropertyValueRequired too add it as well.
• Add the code DefaultModelBinder.ResourceClassKey = "MyNewResource" to your Global.asax startup code.
