I'm having a multi-step form functionality. Following is the code for it. I tried to create a jsFiddle for this code but it was not saving there in fiddle and I was not able to create it. If you just make a HTML file on your system and copy paste the whole code it will run in any browser without making any change.

Currently error messages are shown one by one when user clicks on "Next" button, but I want to show all the three error messages together when user doesn't enter any data into the fields viz. Email, First Name and Last Name. Currently I'm able to show the error messages one by one. I don't want to do that any more, I want to show all the applicable error messages together when user clicks on "Next" button.
How should I do this? Please help me.
Once again apologies for not able to create a js fiddle.
Thanks.
You have two options:
1) You collect all of the error messages to a variable, by appending:
And output it prior to form.
2) You make an empty div:
And add errors to it with something like javascript:
