how to clear error when using jquery validate and custom errorPlacement

jquery, jquery-validate

Solution

You could try adding this to your list of `.validate()` options...

success: function(error) {
    // change CSS on your element(s) back to normal
}

This should work dynamically without a form submit. As soon as the error is resolved, the contained code will run.

See documentation.

Please create a demo of your problem using jsFiddle. Here's a blank jsFiddle with `.validate()` already included and ready for use.

EDIT

As per OP's jsFiddle, I made these changes...

    errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
        $(element).filter(':not(.valid)').addClass("invalid");
    },
    success: function(error) {
        console.log(error);
        $("#signup-form").find('.valid').removeClass("invalid");
    }

Side-notes: You also had some HTML issues. You should "self-close" your `input` elements with `/>`. Same thing for the submit button, self-close rather than using a `</input>`. See validator.w3.org to validate your HTML. I'd also not use a `table` for layouts, use CSS.

Problem

I am using jquery and validate to validate my form. Instead of adding an element to the missing field I am adding a border to the element using this option errorPlacement ``` $("#signup-form").validate({ submitHandler: function(form) { form.submit(); }, errorPlacement: function(error, element) { element.css("border", "solid 1px red"); } }); ``` the one thing i can not seem to figure out is how to clear it when valid? So I started with the above code. Then tried and i am confused with the results. If I do not have the `success:` option when a field fails it adds the class successfully. But as soon as I add the `success` option all the required fields are getting that class, and if I inspect the element I see `<input class="required invalid valid">` so I am doing something incorrectly. ``` $("#signup-form").validate({ submitHandler: function(form) { // do other stuff for a valid form //form.submit(); }, errorPlacement: function(error, element) { element.addClass("invalid"); }, success: function(error) { // change CSS on your element(s) back to normal }, debug:true }); ```
