Take the 2-minute tour ×  So apparently pos absolute has
provided a method for you to display custom error messages with
his jquery validation engine script but I can't get it to work.
According to his documentation at
http://posabsolute.github.com/jQuery-Validation-
Engine/#options/custom_error_messages he provides an example for
how to implement. For simplicity, I have implemented it as
follows..  $('#myform').validationEngine('attach',
{'custom_error_messages' : {'#menubuttontext' : { 'required': {
'message': "This is a custom message." }}}} );  For the
following form field...  <form action="" name="myform"
id="myform" method="post" > <input type="text"
name="menubuttontext" id="menubuttontext"
class="validate[required]" data-tooltip-
options="{&quot;position&quot;:&quot;right&quot;}" value=""
size="10" > <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" <
/ form >  When submitting the above form I get the default
message "This is a required field" instead of the custom message
"This is a custom message" tha
