Jquery and error is not shown when I label input

[toplisek]

I have validation like:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(function() {
jQuery("#form").validate({
rules: {
input: "required",
},
messages: {
input: "It is required filed",
},
});
});

As I have used also label inside input field it is detected this label as text inside input. This should not be detected as this is not users text.

How to avoid this?

Have you tried using the "depends" property inside the rules?

depends: function(element) {
// check here if the default input string is present
}
