Dynamic jQuery Validate error messages with AddMethod based on the element

Question

Let\'s say I have a custom AddMethod to jQuery Validate like:

$.validator.addMethod(\'min-length\', function (val, element) {
    // do stuff

// the error m         


        

Answer 1

late to the party here, but this seems to work for me:

jQuery.validator.addMethod("minDate", function(value, element, param) {
    var inputDate = new Date(value);
    return (inputDate >= param)
    }, function(param, element) {
        return 'Enter a date greater than or equal to ' + $.datepicker.formatDate("M d, yy", new Date(param));
});

where the minDate value has previously been set on the control to validate something like this:

$('form:first').validate({
    rules: {
        "date-filed": {
            minDate: new Date(2000,0,0)
        },
