I have a C# ASP.NET MVC application which generates the following view:

<div >
<button type="submit" id="submitButton">Submit</button>

</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<script>$(document).ready(function () {
var date_PayDate = $('input[name="PayDate"]'); //our date input has the name "date"
var container = $('.bootstrap-iso form').length > 0 ? $('.bootstrap-iso form').parent() : "body";
var options = {
format: 'mm/dd/yyyy',
container: container,
todayHighlight: true,
autoclose: true,
};
date_PayDate.datepicker(options);
})</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#Form1").validate({
// Specify validation rules
rules:
{
Contact: "required",
EMail: {
required: true,
email: true
},
Phone: {
required: true,
phoneUS: true
},
PayDate: {
required: true,
dateBR: true
},
DolAmt: {
required: true,
min: 0,
number: true
},
DepAmt: {
required: true,
min: 0,
number: true
},
},
});
});
jQuery.validator.addMethod("dateBR", function (value, element) {
return this.optional(element) || /^(?:(?:31(\/|-|\.)(?:0?[13578]|1[02]))\1|(?:(?:29|30)(\/|-|\.)(?:0?[1,3-9]|1[0-2])\2))(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$|^(?:29(\/|-|\.)0?2\3(?:(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?(?:0[48]|[2468][048]|[13579][26])|(?:(?:16|[2468][048]|[3579][26])00))))$|^(?:0?[1-9]|1\d|2[0-8])(\/|-|\.)(?:(?:0?[1-9])|(?:1[0-2]))\4(?:(?:1[6-9]|[2-9]\d)?\d{2})$/.test(value);
}, "Enter a valid date in MM/DD/YYYY format)");
</script>
<script>
$("Form1").validate();
</script>
In my heading, I have the following:
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery-validate/1.19.0/jquery.validate.js"></script>
When I execute the code, and clear out the Contact name and the phone number, I expected the validation to generate a default error. Nothing gets generated. No javascript errors are generated to the console.
Do I need to define what error message gets displayed for each rule? Also, how do I define where the error message will get displayed?
Thank you.
CodePudding user response：
None of your fields contain a name attribute.
...
rules: {
Contact: "required",
EMail: { ...
The identifiers that you have configured are designed to hook back to the name attribute.
<input name="Contact" ....
<input name="EMail" ....
