> The method clearErrorMessages in the xhtml client side validation template 
> (template/xhtml/validation.js) fails in firefox. This results in the error 
> messages being duplicated each time the form is submitted.
> The problem arises from the first three lines of code in the function:
>     var table = form.childNodes[1];
>     if( typeof table == "undefined" ) {
>         table = form.childNodes[0];
>     }
> This presumes that the first (or second) node of the form element is the 
> field table. However in firefox hidden fields within a form are moved in the 
> DOM to the top of its children. Thus wherever you put the hidden elements in 
> the form they appear in the DOM at the top. The same problem does not occur 
> in internet explorer or if no hidden fields are present. I have not tried 
> other browsers.
> I have replaced these three lines with the patch:
> // get field table
> var table;
> for (var i = 0; i < form.childNodes.length; i++){
>     if (form.childNodes[i].tagName != null && 
> form.childNodes[i].tagName.toLowerCase() == "table"){
>         table = form.childNodes[i];
>         break;
>     }
> }
> if (table == null){
>     return;
> }
> This solves the problem.
