I have a texbox:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtname" runat="server">

For required field validation I wrote script as:

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#form1").validate({
rules: {

<%=txtname.UniqueID%>:{
required:true
},
},
messages: {

<%=txtname.UniqueID%>:{
required: "Name is required."
},
},
});
});

Its shows error in line '<%=txtname.UniqueID%>:'expected identifier,string or number.
Actually what it means.

What I have tried:

set textbox property as ClientIDMode="Static" instead of <%=txtname.UniqueID%>
use simply control Id <%=txtname%> but still not work.

Is this javascript on the aspx page or in a js file?

on aspx page

View the page source and check the js being generated. I don't know if it's how your formatted the code, but if what you've posted is literally what you have on the aspx page then it's not going to work, you need this

"<%=txtname.UniqueID%>":{

Follow these steps:

<asp:TextBox ID="txtname" runat="server">

To get id for performing any client side validation use this:

JavaScript

var obj = document.getElementById('<%=txtname.ClientID%>');

This will solve your problem and will be help full in future
