Hi Jörn, Thanks for the reply :)
I know using the errorPlacement is a bad workaround but I couldn't figure out another way to do it. Basically what I would like is for each error to slideDown when it is shown and to slideUp when it is hidden. When I looked through the code, it seemed like highlight and unhighlight were passed a reference to the actual field which was invalid (rather than it's associated error message) so I wasn't sure I could use those... My idea was that rather than calling hide() and show() on the error messages directly you could instead have settings which would by default point to those functions but which the user could override. Does that make sense?
