Remote jQuery validation with generated server error message

Question

I am using the Validation jQuery plugin for validation. I have a service that returns true and false right now, and everything is fine.

However, the error message I'm using is "This name has already been accepted."

I want the error message to be "That name is already <a href="/item?id=543"> taken</a>."where this element is something returned from the server. But I can’t understand how to return anything from the server, except for one true or false, and still have a validation job.

I know I can do "Name xxx accepted" using JQuery.Format ("Accepted name {0}"), but I really want to give a hyperlink to an existing element, and I don’t want to change the position pages to accept a name instead of an identifier .

The validation plugin handles this already, but the type of call "json", so you need to make sure that the string (error message) is transmitted in quotation marks, for example:

"Error Message"

The plugin will use this as a displayed error message, convenient? :)
