Hi Liam and Klaus, thanks for your swift feedback.
I forgot to say that I am using the <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/ Plugins/Validation">JQuery Validation Plugin</a> for this matter. The function I am using is rather simple: $(document).ready(function() { $("#contact-form").validate(); $.extend($.validator.messages, { required: "", email: "", }); How can I get it to work from an anchor tag in the form?? Any helo is appeciated...
