Customize jQuery Validation's errorPlacement only for some fields

Question

I'd like to customize the errorPlacement only for certain fields, and defer to the plugin's default placement for the rest. Something like:

errorPlacement : function(error, element) {
    if($(element).prop("id") === "mySpecialField") {
        $("#mySpecialErrorMessageHolder").append(error);
    }
    else {
        // this is not valid syntax but it's what I really want...
        super.errorPlacement(error, element);
    }
}

Is this possible?

Answer 1

errorPlacement : function(error, element) {
    if($(element).prop("id") === "mySpecialField") {
        $("#mySpecialErrorMessageHolder").append(error);
    }
    else {
        error.insertAfter(element); // default error placement.
    }
}

Looking at the source, the default behavior is to use insertAfter.
