Hi there, When overriding the highlight/unhighlight methods, the examples provided in the documentation will not work: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#toptions
They should instead read: highlight: function( element, errorClass, validClass ) { $(element).addClass(errorClass).removeClass(validClass); }, unhighlight: function( element, errorClass, validClass ) { $(element).removeClass(errorClass).addClass(validClass); } Thanks, Dirk
