Default error message for MaxLength validation

[Dan G. Switzer, II]

The default error message for the "MaxLength" client-side rule is:

"Please enter no more than {maxLength} characters."

The problem is the message doesn't contain a reference to *which*
field generated the error message. Every validation method should at
least reference the field responsible for the throwing the error.

Also, it would be really great if the default error messages were
stored in one config file that you could easily overwrite.

Is that MaxLength default message being created by VT or is it just using the default from the jQuery validation plugin? Originally most of the client-side vals just used the jQuery plugin defaults, and if I recall correctly the jQuery plugin does not state which field, so maybe that's at the root of this issue.

I think it makes sense to revisit all of the client-side default messages and generate our own, rather than using the plugin's default.  I also agree that having the default messages in one location would make sense.

Please feel free to add issues to the issue tracker for both of these items.

Thanks,

Bob

Bob,

I'm not sure if it's the jQuery validation default message or not--I stopped digging at the source when I wrote the messages. I just assumed the messages would be the same for both client & server side (at least that's what would make sense to me.)

I'll create issues on GitHub.
