Rick,
If the button is disabled, how are they going to resubmit the form after
they enter the correct information? You would need to disable the button,
then re-enable it on keyup so they can re-submit once they've filled the
info in correctly.
To disable, somewhere in your error placement function, do something like:
$("#buttonID").css({disabled:true});
Where "buttonID" is your Calculate button id.
Then you'll want to bind a keyup event in your fields:
$("#buttonID").css({disabled:false});
So the button will be re-enabled when they enter more info.
Now I didn't test any of that, nor have I used the validation script, but it
should get you going in the right direction.
