ok, i'm getting closer ... although i still haven't figured out how to do custom contextual warnings as noted in the last post. the problem i'm having now is that i have a radio button in my final accordion container. i want the button to be required (checked="checked") for the form to validate. but i need it to be unchecked when the user opens the last part of the form, forcing them to select it before final submission. the behaviour of the plugin is to validate the entire form when the user clicks the 'next' button, which causes the form not to open the final accordion if the radio button isn't checked. how can i have it skip validating the final part (or any hidden section) of the form until the accordion makes it visible?
