Hi Luc,
This is a little smaller... yet surely not perfect
$('form#checkout').submit(function() {
var $forename = $('input#rxt_forename');
var forename = $forename.get(0);
if($forename.val() == '' ){
forename.focus();
$forename.addClass("required").siblings("span.error").show();
return false;
}else{
$forename.removeClass("required").siblings("span.error").hide();
}
});
