On a button click I am hiding all the field validator error by :

$(".field-validation-error").hide()

However I would need this to be activated for some of the fields but not for all.

Let's say I would need this to be activated for the following control.

<td>
      @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.BookTitle, new { @id = "PTitle" })
</td>
<td style="color: Red; display: block; margin-right:20px;">

            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.BookTitle, "", new { @id = "pTitleModelError" })
</td>

I tried enabling it like this using Jquery,

$("#pTitleModelError .field-validation-error").show();

Without any luck. Am I missing something?

With the spacing your selector is currently looking for a child of #pTitleModelError remove the spacing in between – Patsy Issa 15 hours ago
@PatsyIssa somehow it is not working.. In a button click I was trying to hide all other erroe messages except this. As of now it is like this. $(".field-validation-error").hide(); $("#pTitleModelError.field-validation-error").show(); Its not validating that field. – TBA 14 hours ago
Are the elements nested in the same td ? – Patsy Issa 14 hours ago

If i understood your markup correctly the following should give you the desired result: 

$("#pTitleModelError").siblings('.field-validation-error').show();

If i am mistaken let me know so i may help you further.

As I understand you want to hide all elements with .field-validation-error and show one with pTitleModelError Try... 

$("#pTitleModelError").show();
