[jQuery] Validate plugin: insertAfter problem/question

[Gian]

I am using the jQuery Validation plugin in conjuction with the
jqTransform plugin to style the form.

I need to insert the error message after the "rowElem" div. I can do
that, but the problem is that for each input field I get all the error
messages form the other fields.
Example: if I got 3 required fields, when I hit "submit" I got 3 times
"this field is required" after each "rowElem" which include the submit
button.

Thi is the HTML output before the submission (with the output from the
jqTransform plugin):

<div class="rowElem">
    <div class="jqTransformInputWrapper">
        <div class="jqTransformInputInner">
            <div><input type="text" name="dname" class="default-value
required jqtranformdone jqTransformInput" id="dname" style="color: rgb
(204, 204, 204);"/>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

This is the JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
                // VALIDATION + AJAX FORM
                $(document).ready(function(){
                        $('#contactform').validate({

                                errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
                                        error.insertAfter('.rowElem');
                                },

                             submitHandler: function(form) {

                               $(form).ajaxSubmit({
                                    success: function() {
                                        $('#contactform').hide();
                                        $('.contact-col h4').hide();
                                        $('#contact-col-form').append("<p
class='thanks'>Thanks! Your request has been sent.</p>")
                                    }
                               });
                             }

                        });
                });
        </script>

Any help to solve this "multipling" effect is appreciated.
Thanks.
