Thanks - the examples made it a lot clearer, I almost feel stupid for not realising how easy it is, and having tried RC1 now, I can't see me ever using any other validation.
Last question, and might require it's own thread; using TinyMCE and your plugin, I have to click the submit button twice to get the form to submit - TinyMCE copys it's iframe(?)/div contents back to it's textarea on the first submit I think, but is empty before that. Can I envoke TinyMCE's 'copy' function before the field is checked somehow? Or should I just check TinyMCE's iframe(?)/div content? Has anyone else used TinyMCE and your plugin successfully?

Just provide a selector using jQuery's expression capabilites. The plugin itself adds ':blank' and ':filled' to check for filled or blank fields (trimming whitespace). -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de In2 Thames House Mere Park Dedmere Road Marlow Bucks SL7 1PB Tel 01628 899700 Fax 01628 899701 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] i: www.in2.co.uk This message (and any associated files) is intended only for the use of jquery-en@googlegroups.com and may contain information that is confidential, subject to copyright or constitutes a trade secret.
