Thanks for this idea! That did the trick.

Could you explain a bit more about how I should subclass the validator? I don't understand subclassing in a JavaScript context all that well. I don't think I'd have a problem writing the code, but I'm not quite sure what I should change in the plugin & init part of the code. Thanks again for the hints! Bryce Lohr > Jörn
