Hi, Does this help?
http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/validate/validate.html It's a simplified version of the original demo ( http://www.shair.it/sandbox ) - but it is still using errorPlacement to slideDown the error messages first time they appear, Here is another version which (I think) would work with my imagined enhancement: http://www.kelvinluck.com/assets/jquery/validate/validate2.html Let me know if you need something different, Cheers, Kelvin :) On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 12:58 AM, Jörn Zaefferer <joern.zaeffe...@googlemail.com> wrote: > > Yes, it does.
