copied!<p>First off, there are a couple of changes in your HTML that you should make which will not only help you solve this issue, but will also make for cleaner, more valid code:</p> <ol> <li>Add a <code>for</code> attribute to all of your <code><label></code> tags that pairs them with the input that they match (this really should always be done with labels), and </li> <li>Move the <code><span class="required"> *</span></code> inside the label (since it really is part of the label)</li> </ol> <p>The resulting code would look like this:</p> <pre><code><fieldset> <p> <label for="txtBox">SOME LABEL<span class="required"> *</span></label> </p> <input type="text" id="txtBox"> </fieldset> </code></pre> <p>Once you've done that, what you are trying to accomplish becomes much easier:</p> <p>Instead of:</p> <pre><code>ctrl.closest('fieldset').find('span.required').addClass('missing'); </code></pre> <p>. . . you can use the id of the input (<code>val.controltovalidate</code>) as part of a JQuery selector to find the related label directly:</p> <pre><code>var $targetLabel = $("label[for='" + val.controltovalidate +"']") $targetLabel.find('span.required').addClass('missing'); </code></pre> <p>I've used this many times to pair validations with the labels of the field that is being validated . . . quick and clean. :)</p> <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I split up the last JS piece to keep it from scrolling, but it could be one line. :)</p>
