p.s. i just need the tick or cross instead of the default text, but if
i remove the text from the messages :
messages : {
country : {
required : 'select country',
minlength : 'choose a country'
},
},
to
messages : {
country : {
required : '',
minlength : ''
},
},
the permanent cross changes into a permanent tick no matter what i
select, it's fine with input boxes, but the select doesnt work the
same way.
