4 lines down to 1! Works perfectly; I didn't know you could do some of
those things. I've only been working with javascript/jQuery for a few
days.
- Errors are the only things in the ul.errors list
- .NET handles the hiding/showing of the span's. It does it in a way
that I'm not really sure if I can augment (yet. still working on it)
Hiding is working fine. You're right, since my code hides LI's on
pageLoad (via my js) and span's are being hidden/shown continuously
(via .NET's 'magic' on onBlur) -- my error's are not showing due to
LI's being hidden.
Any idea how I can loop through the page to continuously monitor spans
and detect if they've been shown/hidden, then show/hide my LI's in
response?
