Yes I have only one container Ok so I will use the errorLabelContainer Now after I do that can I use the offset to alter the css on each of the error labels to be equal to the offset of the offending element? Or should a create custom method that runs after validation runs repositions everything?

Then you need to make that selector relative to the current input; currently you select the same div for each input.

I then want to set there position so it is level with the element. But when I run it I get no error messages Here is my code: errorPlacement: function(error, element) { errordiv=$('.insidePage_error div'); error.appendTo(errordiv); //var offset = $(element).offset(); //error.css({'top' : offset.top, 'position' : 'absolute' }); },
