The validation doesn't fire on element blur before you submit the form (only after), perhaps it may be a bug?
What I want to do is show a message when the form is submitted, not when an element loses focus (but also want the error class to be added to an element when it is not valid). What may be a good solution (but would probably mean a change to the plugin by Jörn) is if there was a way to know what element fired the validation and what event (blur, submit etc) was the trigger.
