validation - jQuery Validate - display one warning for the same types of errors -

i have simple form has several input elements required:

$("input").each(function(index, elem) {    var rules = {      required:true    }    $(elem).rules("add", rules); });     

and want place error messages in div, this:

    <div id="errorcontainer" class="inputgreska">         there errors. please correct following:         <ul id="errorlabelcontainer"></ul>     </div>     

so, did following:

    $("#forma").validate({        errorclass: "red",        errorcontainer: "#errorcontainer",        errorlabelcontainer: "#errorlabelcontainer",        wrapper: "li",        errorelement: "div"     });     

the problem following:

if user forgets fill more 1 input - within error container there same warnings repeated. so, if user forgets fill 3 fields, there be:

• this field required.
• this field required.
• this field required.

is possible show 1 error message, this:

• fields marked asterisks (*) required

  no matter how many elements user has forgotten fill.

thank you.

if understand you're question right wanting display 1 error message form validation though has multiple errors, try using showerrors() callback defined in jquery validate.

showerrors: function (errormap, errorlist) { $("#errorcontainer").html("please enter required fields asterisk*."); }

have pulled quick fiddle show working example http://jsfiddle.net/mvz0c2am/ , hope helps.
