The solution based on "INPUT-ELEMENT_err_msg" feels rather implicit, it should be considered deprecated and will probably be removed in the future.

There are two different ways to specify where an error message should appear. Either you use the attribute data-validation-error-msg-container on the input-element containing the css-selector of the element where the error message should be placed. The other option is to use the configuration parameter errorMessagePosition to tell the plugin where all error messages should be placed.

All this is described on http://formvalidator.net/#configuration_position

It's simpler than assigning data-validation-error-msg-container for each element. The other option would be to allow writing a function on "errorMessagePosition" as "function(element)" in order to allow a predictable (but not common) behavior. This because it's always better to write where the message will be just once than on every single input.

Letting the errorMessagePosition accept a callback function would be a great feature! I'll add that as a feature request.
