Automatically close or fade-out error message when offending input is focused.

[cmanley]

I couldn't find how to do that in the documentation. Is it possible?

Also a nice to have feature would be to close/fade-out all error messages after a timeout.

That sounds like a great idea. I've added this as a feature in version 1.3.6.

You can activate it with $.validity.setup({ fadeOutTooltipsOnFocus:true });. It only works on the tooltip output mode.

Here's an example.

Fading out everything after a timeout is easier. Validity doesn't need to be modified, you can just put the following code in your validation function.

setTimeout(
  function() {
    $(".validity-tooltip").fadeOut();
  },
  3000
);
