I have run into another problem. I am using CakePHP and Cake renders
checkboxes as a hidden form element (for storing the value sent to the
server) and then the checkbox input.
Eg: <input type="hidden" name="data[User][tos]" value="0" id="UserTos_" />
<input type="checkbox" name="data[User][tos]" class="f-checkbox
{required:true}" value="1" id="UserTos" />
When refresh is run in validator it is selecting the hidden form element
first (because they share the same name), then that element is discarded
when the filter(":visible") is run.
I had to change this line:
this.elements = jQuery(this.currentForm).find("input, select, textarea,
button").not(":submit").not(":reset").filter(function() {
to this:
this.elements = jQuery(this.currentForm).find("input, select, textarea,
button").not(":submit").not(":reset").not(":hidden").filter(function() {
to make it work. Is there a better way to accomplish this without modifying
the source code or could you add the change? Thank you for all of your help
with this, I really appreciate all of your work.

Try this, less obtrusive:
var validator = $("#myform").validate();
validator.elements = validator.elements.filter(":visible");
No need to modify the plugin file itself. Please let me know if that
works for you.
