[jQuery] [validate] How can I reset the error messages without using the form plugin????

[Marv]

The validation plugin is great and I'm using it very successful with
my ASP.net web services for AJAX data entry and validation. What I
would like to do is use the JavaScript form reset method AND somehow
reset the validator's error messages from the prior validate()
invocation but I do not want to use the form.js plugin (nor do I need
to since I never really submit any of the many forms on a page -- the
forms are just used for the validation process).

Thanks for any advice you can give...
