How to set sliding error messages in join form?

Instead of showing error and info icon, I want to display sliding error messages on validation using jQuery. Validation should be done on submitting the form and while hovering from one field to other.

i would like to know this also as some new members whom have difficulties signing up fail to realise the error indicators.

One thing I did to help new members was to put a block at the top of the form with instructions including the little red and blue circles and how to see what the error is.  Also reminded them they had to respond to a confirmation email as some did not know they had to do that and would not look for the emails.

This does not do what you want but an easy way to alert members on the join form is to add this to the following language keys

_FieldCaption_General Info_Join & _FieldCaption_Security Image_Join

<center>If you see this sign <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/templates/base/images/icons/exclamation.png"> after you click join please correct your entry</center>

Happy thoughts

Sorry i need a live form validation, which shows the error on moving to the next field instead of submitting the entire form

Look in the market or post a job.

What you need is a function to run when you leave the field for example : onExit="validate(this);"

Same as validate(this) but I think if you write proper instructions people get it and fill in the form the right way..

How hard can it be? ;-)

Probably not that hard and there are a lot of javascript form validators freely available.   May be no harder that customising one of them and dropping it into the join form.

 I did this too year and a half ago and have had no problems since!

How to video didn't work, this turned out to be the best solution.

Only when i submit the full form i get response of error messages. Is there any other way of getting responses of error messages before form submit?

Yes, as I said, you can set up javascript validation that will check the entries on the fly and put up notices.  This is not a part of Dolphin, you will have to go out on the internet and look for form validation/validators.  Then you need to set up that validation to check the form entries.  Post this in the job market if you don't think you are up to doing this yourself.
