Here how it looks now:
validator : $('#new_place').validate({
errorElement: 'p',
errorPlacement: function(error, elem) {
error.addClass('error-message left');
if (elem.attr('id') != 'select_id') {
elem.parent('span').after(error);
} else {
elem.parents('div.line.categories').append(error);
};
},
meta: 'validate',
debug: true,
onsubmit: false,
highlight: function(element, errorClass) {
if ($(element).attr('id') != 'select_id') {
$(element).parents('div.field-wrapper').addClass('errors');
if ($(element).parent('span').next().length > 0) {
$(element).parent('span').next('p.error').addClass('error-
message left');
};
} else {
$(element).parents('div.line.categories').prev
('div.line').addClass('errors'); // red label
$(element).parents('div.line.categories').addClass
('errors'); // red error
};
},
unhighlight: function(element, errorClass) {
if ($(element).attr('id') != 'select_id') {
$(element).parents('div.field-wrapper').removeClass
('errors');
} else {
$(element).parents('div.line').removeClass('errors');
$(element).parents('div.line').prev
('div.line.errors').removeClass('errors');
};
}
}),
and as soon as i add errorClass: 'error-message left' to the validator
configuration - messages start piling up.
