Well now I'm getting somewhere... What was happening is that all the form fields (Principal, Interest, Years) in the MC_Form did not have id's assigned to them by me.
However, when rendered, the fields were being automatically assigned an id such #MC_FormPrincipal or #MC_FormInterest. (From the looks of the Firebug response that's why I think was happening, anyway.) Once I assigned explicit id's to each of the form fields, I began to get a response from the validation plug-in. Whew! Man that has been driving me crazy all week! Thanks for everyone's help on this one! I sure I'll be back with plenty more questions as I learn more about jQuery, the plug-ins, and Firebug!

To test to see whether there is multiple elements with an id == "Something", use this: $('[EMAIL PROTECTED]') When you use $('#Something') the getElementById() function is used and that will only return one element (or none).
