jQuery validation get id/name of element

I want to get the id/name of the element in error. I need it to display it as a list so the default message "this is required" is not informative.

I am using this to display the message:

$.validator.message.required = [custom message]

I have tried using

$.validator.message.required = $.validator.format("error is {0}{1}")

but this only returns a string

"error is [object HTMLInputElement]"

Just Do this..

window.error_list = $('#userProfile').validate({ ... });
console.log(window.error_list.errorList)

i found this question via googling and actually figured out an answer to this problem.

you can actually just implement your own 'formatting' function and pass that around like you would with what you get back from jQuery.validator.format. your function will get passed two items, the first seems to be a bool (i'm not sure what that is for) and the second param will be the actual html element. so in your case you'd want to do something like this:

$.validator.message.required = function(_, el) {
    console.log(el.name, el.id);
    return 'error is ' + el.name + ' : ' + el.id;
}
