Naming an Element for enhancing the standard Messages

[mgs]

Suppose you have an element like so

<input type="text" name="prsFirstName" required />

Then if the client side validation fails, the following message is shown

prsFirstName is required

I would like to give that element a name, which is understood by the end user. For example "first name". I tried by coding

<input type="text" name="prsFirstName" title="first name" required />

However, then the message is shrunken to

first name

So what do I have to do, so all standard message use the user-oriented naming for the element?

Hi Michael,

Kendo Validator provides an opportunity for changing the default validation messages with custom ones. In the corresponding documentation you can find code samples that demonstrate the syntax.

Hello Alexander,

thanks a lot for the answer.

I do not want to make each and every message to a custom message. I want to use the standard messages. And at the same time I want the field to be named in a way which the enduser understands. In my opinion this is the way it should be. The technical name of the field should not appear in the user interface.
