I still want to enable client-side validation on submit and keyup and ajax validation on blur without to much effort on the clients side (the user of the plugin). So far you have to manully trigger the ajax validation, and then use the validator object (returned by the validate method) to display error messages via the showErrors() method ( http://jquery.bassistance.de/api-browser/plugins.html#jQueryvalidatorprotoypeshowErrorsMap ). -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de _______________________________________________ jQuery mailing list discuss@jquery.com http://jquery.com/discuss/
