jquery form field custom messages
in an effort to improve my jquery skills i've decided to create a form and validate it. everything is working fine, but when i submit my form i only get one of the error messages that i've created. i should get all the error messages if i try to submit a blank form, why does it stop after it displays the first error message? this is the first question i've ever asked on here so please excuse any mangled code that gets posted on this one.

In short, if you have a look at your if statements, you are using "return false" after each check. This way the form prevents itself from submitting itself but this also stops the flow of execution and gets out of the whole method straight from the condition-satisfying "if" block. That's why only the first check, whichever is triggered in the order of how its organized in your code, is executing.
It stop after the first error message because you "return false". The "return" stop the execution of the current function
