Well, Jorn... I finally figured out the problem... I hadn't assigned an id's to my form fields (Principal, Interest, Years), so I couldn't see the conflict.
However, it looks like id's were automatically being assigned to my form fields when published... they were renamed using the form id and then the field name attached, as in "#Mortgage_Calculation_FormPrincipal" and I guess this id was confusing the validation plug-in (although I'm not quite sure why because even though the automatically generated id name included the form id name, it was not the same name exactly. However, the lesson learned: Always assign id's (unique ones) to every element. So I've got the plug-in working. Now I've got two more questions: 1) How do I format the validation message? In the plug-in settings? Can I put CSS formatting in there? 2) How can I get the messages to display above the form fields? Can the label tag take CSS formatting in-line? Thanks for all your help with this...

I hope you can be patient enough to wait for beta 1. I've implemented all features, and just need to do a little bit more testing. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
