I have a 3 input fields that get checked and button becomes enabled. However i want to flag custom error messaging if criteria is not valid.

What I have tried:

CSS

 .textinput {
    
            border: 1px solid #000;
            border-radius: 0;
            box-sizing: border-box;
            color: #6c6c6c;
            height: auto;
            margin: 0px auto 15px auto;
            padding: 4px 0 5px 10px;
            width: 100%;
            font-family: Apercuregular,sans-serif;
            font-weight: normal;
            letter-spacing: .02em;
            font-size: 16px;
            display: block;
             width: 300px;
  }
  
   .form-button{
    background-color: #000;
    color: #fff;
    display: block;
    letter-spacing: .02em;
    font-family: Apercuregular,sans-serif;
    font-size: 13px;
    text-align: center;

  }

    .form-button[disabled]:hover {
        background-color: red;
        color: #fff;
        border: 0 none;
    }

  
  
  .fieldLabel {
    display: block;

  var fn = document.getElementById('control_COLUMN1').value;

  var name = /^[A-Z]?[a-z]*(\s[A-Z][a-z]*)*$/;
  var email = /^[a-z0-9]+\@[a-z0-9]+\.[a-z]+/;
  if(email.test(em) && name.test(fn) && name.test(ln))
    document.getElementById('submitBtn').disabled=false;

Start by using the correct input type, and adding the pattern attribute[^] to your name inputs, so that the browser will validate them:

HTML

<input type="text" name="First Name" id="control_COLUMN1" label="First Name" class="textinput mandatory" placeholder="First name*" required maxlength="50" pattern="[A-Z]?[a-z]*(\s[A-Z][a-z]*)*" />
...
<input type="text" name="Last Name" id="control_COLUMN2" label="Last Name" class="textinput mandatory" placeholder="Last name*" required maxlength="50" pattern="[A-Z]?[a-z]*(\s[A-Z][a-z]*)*" />
...
<input type="email" name="Email" id="control_COLUMN3" label="Email" class="textinput mandatory" placeholder="Email*" required maxlength="50" />

Then, add the jQuery Validation Plugin[^] to your page and validate the form.

HTML

<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-hVVnYaiADRTO2PzUGmuLJr8BLUSjGIZsDYGmIJLv2b8=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="jquery.validate.js"></script>
<script>
$(function(){
    $("form").validate();
});
</script>

You can add one empty div tag top of the form like below:

<div id="error"></div>

Then update the else part of the javascript like below:

 if(email.test(em) && name.test(fn) && name.test(ln))
    document.getElementById('submitBtn').disabled=false;
  else
    document.getElementById('error').innerText = "Please fill all data";
    document.getElementById('submitBtn').disabled=true;

}

I hope the above will work.
