Parsley.js - Displaying Errors in a Specified Element

I returned true from the function provided with container key.

My HTML Element

<input type="text" class="input-small" errorSpan="yyy"  id="ddd" name="ddd" value="" data-required="true">
<span id="yyy"></span>

Javascript

$('#abc').parsley({
            errors: {
                classHandler: function ( elem ) {}
              , container: function ( elem, template, isRadioOrCheckbox ) {
                   //here i have span msg. id to be displayed as custom attribute in input element
                    $('#' + $(elem).attr('errorSpan')).html(template);
                    return true;//returning back boolean makes it work
                  }
              , errorsWrapper: '<ul></ul>'
              , errorElem: '<li></li>'
              }
        });

It also works if I return

return $('#' + $(elem).attr('errorSpan')).html(template);

Hope this helps......

data-parsley-errors-container="#your-div-id" worked for me

<div class="form-group">
  <label for="middle-name" class="control-label col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-12">Start Time</label>
  <div class="col-md-6 col-sm-6 col-xs-12">
       <div class=" datetimepicker3 input-append timepick">
          <input class="form-control" data-format="hh:mm" placeholder="HH:MM" type="text" name="startTime" data-parsley-errors-container="#startTimeErrorContainer" required="required"  id="startTime" />
          <span class="add-on"><i class="fa fa-clock-o icon-time"></i></span>  
       </div>   
      <div id="startTimeErrorContainer"></div>                                            
  </div>                       

You'll need to use a callback function to do so

Here a simple example to attach error messages to element parent for example.

$('#myForm').parsley({
    errors: {
        container: function ( elem ) {
            return $( elem ).parent();
        }
    }
});

EDIT: Working on 1.1.10-dev, I changed the way to define the errors container like above. Careful, this is a BC Break;

I've added another data-attribute, data-parsley-errors-container="#element". That could allow you modify the DOM to specify where the error messages will be displayed.
