It's good to know that the label and input can be styled separately. I didn't understand that...
Ok... here's the code I'm using (the part that's relevant, anyway)... errorPlacement: function(error, element) { error.insertBefore(element); }, <style type="text/css"> label.error { color: red; font: Arial Helvetica San-Serif; font-size: 12px; position: relative; top: -21 px; } input.error { position: relative; left: -144; } </style> Now that works for the top formfield, Principal. But like you mentioned earlier, Jorn, when the error message is displayed for the bottom two fields, it's in the wrong position because of the length of the error message and is on top of the field above. Have a look at the site again, http://bodaford.whitestonemedia.com and let me know what you think. Any tweaks to this solution you can think of?
