Ok, there seem to be a bug somewhere.... look: Case 1
Code: errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.appendTo( element.css('backgroundColor','#000000') ); } Result: FF: the error field is painted black (OK) IE: the error field is painted black (OK) -------------------------- Case 2 Code: errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.appendTo( element.parent().css('backgroundColor','#000000') ); } Result: FF: the TD containing the error field is painted black (OK) IE: the TD containing the error field is painted black (OK) -------------------------- Case 3 Code: errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.appendTo( element.parent().parent().css('backgroundColor','#000000') ); } Result: FF: the TR containing the error field is painted black (OK) IE: the TD containing the error field is painted black (WRONG) !!!!!!!!!! -------------------------- Conclusion: IE doesn't seem to understand the second .parent().... it doesn't select the TR. What can I do to fix this?
