Oh, very, very close, Sam!
I finally saw an error message appear above my
form fields. Yay!
However... now the form field below the message drops
down when the message appears (which is not really a problem),
but when the correct entry is made and the error message
disappears, the form field label remains out of alignment.
In other words it starts out like this:
Principal [Principal Form Field]
Interest Rate [Interest Form Field]
Years [Years Form Field]
If I remove the pre-filled number from the Principal field,
the error message pops up and this is the display:
Principal "Please enter the principal."
[Principal form field]
That would be ok, but after the correct entry is made it looks like this:
Principal
[Principal form field]
If error are entered and error message displayed for all fields,
I eventually end up with a form with fields that display like this:
Principal
[Principal form field]
Interest Rate
[Interest form field]
Years
[Years]
Is there any way to tweak your code to cause the form elements
to "reset" to their original positions after an error message appears
and then is removed?

I think I got it mixed up:
errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
$(element).before(error).before("<br>");
},
This should add the error before the element and then a break (so it
appears directly above)
