This is why I'm so confused. The code in the demo is: $("#form2").validate({ errorContainer: container, errorLabelContainer: $("ol", container), wrapper: 'li', meta: "validate", event: "keyup" });
My code is: $("#order").validate({ errorContainer: $("#messagebox"), errorLabelContainer: $("p", "#messagebox") }); Also, in the forms: Demo Code: <select id="color" name="color" title="Please select your favorite color!" class="{validate:{required:true}}"> My code: <input type="text" name="firstname_order" value="" class="{validate:{required:true}}"/> It seems like I'm using the exact same code, but the demo works and mine doesn't. I don't understand. BJ Clark On 6/20/07, Jörn Zaefferer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Seems like your setup has a problem. Check the docs and demo pages for examples on how to setup validation rules via metadata, or just use the plugin options to specify rules, which I can recommend. -- Jörn Zaefferer http://bassistance.de
