Whats wrong with keeping the focus on the active field, if its invalid?
If you enter something into the, say, third field, hit enter to
submit, then it turns out both that field and another before that are
invalid, why move the focus to a different field?

And what if you enter an invalid character in an input at the bottom
of the field? For example entering a letter in the Conference Dinner
input of my sample form.
A user is going to miss the error message at the top of the form along
with other input errors if there's an error in the last inputs
Well, you can set focusInvalid: false and implement invalidHandler to
focus the first field. That should do the trick.

I guess I'm going to have too. I just need to work out how to return

$(form).validate({
focusInvalid: false,
invalidHandler: function() {
$(this).find(:input.error:first).focus();
}
});

On Tue,
Hmmm...I tried this but I discovered on the first submit that it
doesn't focus the first invalid field but it will if I hit return to
submit again.
Also, when hitting submit on a field that's not checked for validity,
the form will submit successfully this second time as well despite

Not for me.

Click in a required field (not the first one) and hit return. Focus
stays in the focused field. Hit return again and the focus jumps to
the first invalid field.
If you focus a non-required field and hit
Ok, the problem with the non-validated fields submitting on hitting
return twice is resolved by removing the following...
onfocusout: function(element) {
