Solution 1
$("#submit_value").click(function(){
if($('#user_option').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0)
{
$('.errorMsg').html('<span style="color:red">Please select atleast one checkbox</span>');
return false;
}
if($("#users").is(":checked")) {
if($('.option_users').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0) {
//alert(('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length);
$('.errorMsg').text('<span style="color:red">Please select atleast one checkbox for user type</span>');
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
Solution 2
Give a span tag at the top of the form
<span id="errorMsg"></span>
In Jquery, instead of alert give as
$('#errorMsg').css('color','red');
$('#errorMsg').html('Please select atleast one checkbox');
Solution 3
if (error exist) {
$errormsg = "<span style='color: red'>sometext</span>";
$("#id").html($errormsg)
}
or you can also addClass.
//css
.error {
color: red;
}
//javascript
if (error exist) {
$("#id").addClass('error').html("sometext")
}
Solution 4
$("#submit_value").click(function(){
if($('#user_option').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0)
{
$('.errorMsg').css({ 'color': 'red'});
$('.errorMsg').html('Please select atleast one checkbox');
return false;
}
if($("#users").is(":checked")) {
if($('.option_users').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0) {
//alert(('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length);
$('.errorMsg').css({ 'color': 'red'});
$('.errorMsg').html('Please select atleast one checkbox for user type');
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
Solution 5
$("#submit_value").click(function(){
if($('#user_option').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0)
{
$("#user").html('Please select atleast one checkbox');
return false;
}
if($("#users").is(":checked")) {
if($('.option_users').find('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length == 0) {
//alert(('input[type=checkbox]:checked').length);
$("#user").html('Please select atleast one checkbox for user type');
return false;
}
}
return true;
});
at the top of or at the checboxes add divs with different id
<div id="user" style='color:red'></div>

I'm using PHP and smarty. I'm bit new to jQuery. I've written a function in jQuery and calling this function on form submit. Currently I'm showing the error message in alert. But the requirement is it should be displayed above the form and the field having error should get highlighted. The font colour should be red in both cases. For your reference I'm pasting my smarty template code(i.e form code).
<table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" > <tr> <td align="left" valign="top"><h3>Contact Lists >> {$bread_crumbs_text}</h3></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top">
