Varun, I've actually solved a problem like this for the company that I work for. I have 5 tabs, all located within 1 form. I also had to label the tabs that had errors and focus the first one that had errors. This is simply unachievable without a bit of "hacking" with the .validate() plugin. Don't get me wrong, it's a great plugin, but doesn't scale very well when posed with a very high level problem, not to mention it can get slow when validating a lot of fields. Because of this, I have written something for myself that may be of use to you. It is still in "alpha stages" and I have a lot of changes and fixes that I want to work on, but it is quite effective and it may help you quite bit with your problem here.
http://shugartweb.com/jquery/form/ The documentation is generated from the doc blocks in the code, so it's fairly well documented, but lacking examples. Let me know if you like it. Suggestions, changes, collaboration is all welcome.
