Hi there,
The validation plugin makes provision for customising the element used
to display error messages. You specify the element required as an
option paramater during the initial validate call: see
www.docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#options
so eg: $(#someForm).validate({
errorElement: "span"
});
I wouldn't recommend editing the plugin as you will lose all your
changes when an upgrade becomes available.
Hope this helps!!
