title: changing default text validation for jquery in asp.net mvc 3
body: <p>I'm trying to override the default jquery text for client validation in an MVC 3 project.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously this looks like the right answer, but it's not working for me.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2457032/jquery-validation-change-default-error-message">jQuery validation: change default error message</a></p>
  
  <p>The error text specifically is also a bit different, it isn't</p>
  
  <p>"This field is required."</p>
  
  <p>It's "(DynamicFieldName) field is required." I want to change this, but I can't find it referenced anywhere. I've searched for all instances of required." in the entire project (as I assume that has to be defined client side somewhere for this to work, but maybe this text is being passed from the backend)</p>
  
  <p>AH! I just found it, the validation text is being set as part of the html5 attribute validation things. Cool. Question solved.</p>
  
  <p>I've checked the jQuery.validator.messages object, and my changes are being picked up.</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone help!</p>
