Validate Plugin - metadata messages influence behaviour

[pduijves]

hi! i think i ran into a bug;

when i validate a form with the input field below, validate also triggers if the input is not numeric, though i don't want it to and don't tell it to.

<input type="text" id="addressb2" name="addressb2" value="" class="{validate:{required:true, messages:{required:'Street number is required'}}}"/>

adding the rule number:false does not help.

i found a workaround by breaking the word 'number' in the custom error message:

<input type="text" id="addressb2" name="addressb2" value="" class="{validate:{required:true, messages:{required:'Street <span>n</span>umber is required'}}}"/>

which could be a clue, that words in the custom message text are matching rules somewhere

thanks for the great plugin!

ps: i couldn't find a way to attach this message straight to the right plugin...

In this case using metadata with the class attribute doesn't work. There are plenty alternatives for specifying messages, or configure the validation plugin to search in a custom attribute for the rules/messages.
