thanks for the reply James!
I'm looking at the jquery Validation plugin, and I don't see how the
function you offered integrates with it. Can you offer more detail?
Perhaps I need to modify validator to make these changes in the submit
button?
I'm hoping the author of Validation will see this question and give me
some guidance where to insert functions to disable the submit button
after it passes validation checks.
This can't be such a rare need? (we are having slowness with our site
right now, so that makes this important.)
