Custom error message for field of type 'email' not working

Hi,

I’m currently integrating Parsley for a site, and am having a problem setting a custom error message for an email field. I also have a ‘required’ constraint on this field, with an accompanying error message, and that works, but when the email address is not valid I’m seeing the default “This value should be a valid email.” error message rather than the one I’ve set. My field looks like this:

<input class="form-control" data-parsley-required data-parsley-type="email" data-parsley-required-message="email address required" data-parsley-email-message="must be a valid email address" name="email" type="text" id="email">

Many thanks -

Try using data-parsley-type-message="must be a valid email address" instead please.

I’ve been tripped by this too. The documentation at http://parsleyjs.org/doc/index.html#ui-for-field

Validator error message #2.0 data-parsley-constraint-message=“my message” Customize the error message for the field constraint. eg: data-parsley-required-message=“this field is required”

is a bit confusing here.
