hi,
i new to jquery, i'm using the jquery validation to validate my form.
using this code
<script src="includes/jquery/jquery.validate.js" type="text/
javascript"></script>
<script src="includes/jquery/cmxforms.js" type="text/javascript"></
script>

<script type="text/javascript">
        $.validator.setDefaults({
                submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); }
        });

        $().ready(function() {
                $("#addrest").validate({
                        rules: {
                                restname: "required"
                        },
                        messages: {
                                restname: "<br><font face=\"Arial\" 
style=\"font-size: 9pt\" color=
\"#96A26F\">Please enter your Restaurant Name</font>"
                        }
                });
        });

        $(document).ready(function() {
           $('#yes').click(function(){
             $('#tr').hide();
           });
           $('#no').click(function(){
             $('#tr').show();
           });
         });
</script><script src="includes/jquery/jquery.validate.js" type="text/
javascript"></script>
<script src="includes/jquery/cmxforms.js" type="text/javascript"></
script>

<script type="text/javascript">
        $.validator.setDefaults({
                submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); }
        });

        $().ready(function() {
                $("#addrest").validate({
                        rules: {
                                restname: "required"
                        },
                        messages: {
                                restname: "<br><font face=\"Arial\" 
style=\"font-size: 9pt\" color=
\"#96A26F\">Please enter your Restaurant Name</font>"
                        }
                });
        });

        $(document).ready(function() {
           $('#yes').click(function(){
             $('#tr').hide();
           });
           $('#no').click(function(){
             $('#tr').show();
           });
         });
</script>

its working fine under IE7 but when i press the submit button again on
FF or opera the message appears under the old message so i would have
two messages saying "this is required..." under each other. this keeps
happening every time i press the submit button.
how can i make the message show only once no matter how many times the
submit button is pressed?
thx
