Here you go:

JS:

$('form').on('submit', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();

    if (!$('#email').val()) 
        $('#email').parent().append('<span class="error">Please enter your email address.</span>');


    if(!$('#password').val())
         $('#password').parent().append('<span class="error">Please enter your password.</span>');
});

        <div><label for="password">Password</label></div>
        <div><input type="password" id="password" /></div> <!-- JS because of IE support; better: placeholder="Email" -->

    </fieldset>

The way I would do it is to create paragraph tags where you want your error messages with the same class and show them when the data is invalid. Here is my fiddle

if ($('#email').val() == '' || !$('#password').val() == '') {
    $('.loginError').show();
    return false;
}

I also added the paragraph tags below the email and password inputs

<p class="loginError" style="display:none;">please enter your email address or password.</p>

You could put static elements after the fields and show them, or you could inject the validation message dynamically. See the below example for how to inject dynamically.

This example also follows the best practice of setting focus to the blank field so user can easily correct the issue.

Note that you could easily genericize this to work with any label & field (for required fields anyway), instead of my example which specifically codes each validation.

Your fiddle is updated, see here: jsfiddle

The code:

$('form').on('submit', function (e) {
    var focusSet = false;
    if (!$('#email').val()) {
        if ($("#email").parent().next(".validation").length == 0) // only add if not added
        {
            $("#email").parent().after("<div class='validation' style='color:red;margin-bottom: 20px;'>Please enter email address</div>");
        }
        e.preventDefault(); // prevent form from POST to server
        $('#email').focus();
        focusSet = true;
    } else {
        $("#email").parent().next(".validation").remove(); // remove it
    }
    if (!$('#password').val()) {
        if ($("#password").parent().next(".validation").length == 0) // only add if not added
        {
            $("#password").parent().after("<div class='validation' style='color:red;margin-bottom: 20px;'>Please enter password</div>");
        }
        e.preventDefault(); // prevent form from POST to server
        if (!focusSet) {
            $("#password").focus();
        }
    } else {
        $("#password").parent().next(".validation").remove(); // remove it
    }
});  

The CSS:

    .validation
    {
      color: red;
      margin-bottom: 20px;
    }

is only the matter of finding the dom where you want to insert the the text.

DEMO jsfiddle

$().text();
