I'm looking for a plugin for jQuery that can validate as a key is pressed and after it loses focus (text boxes).
I'm currently using jVal - jQuery Form Field Validation Plugin. It works pretty good. The only issue I have is that I can only use a generic error message.
For example: I need a string to between 2 and 5 characters. If its too short I would like to display an error message that indicates it to short, equally if its too long. I know I could display an error message that requires the string to between 2 and 5 characters. The validation that is being done is more complicated.
Any ideas of other validators or how I could use this plug-in to display unique error messages.
Edit:
The validation tool needs to prevent particular letters or numbers and not require a form.
Thanks
