Adding errors to form validation doesn't work?

Question

According to the Semantic UI docs on form validation, I can add errors manually:

add errors(errors) | Adds errors to form, given an array errors

It appears like you are trying to recreate the wheel when using semantic ui. Assuming you have included the complete versions of semantic.css in the head and semantic.js just above the body closing tag, here is an abbreviated version of working code for a simple contact form with some of the error work done by semantic and some by html5. For completeness I have included a user side captcha. HTML

mainjs

    $(function(){
 $('form input[type=reset]')
            .before('

');
        $('.ui.form').form({
            email: {
                identifier: 'email',
                rules: [
                    {
                        type: 'empty',
                        prompt: 'Please enter your email'
                    }
                ]
            },
            subject: {
                identifier: 'subject',
                rules: [
                    {
                        type: 'empty',
                        prompt: 'Please enter a subject'
                    }
                ]
            },
            message: {
                identifier: 'message',
                rules: [
                    {
                        type: 'empty',
                        prompt: 'Please enter a message'
                    }
                ]
            },
            human: {
                identifier: 'captcha',
                rules: [
                    {
                        type: 'checked',
                        prompt: 'You must behuman'
                    }
                ]
            }
        });
    });

I hope this helps to clear things up.
