Sam, On the API documentation page have a look at the examples for .validate() - http://jquery.bassistance.de/api-browser/plugins.html#validateMap
There is a parameter called 'event' which seems to control when each input is validated, its use is shown a couple of times. This isn't documented but shouldn't be too hard to work out its semantics - I'd love to help further but haven't used the validate() plugin myself.

Is it possible to only run validation when the form is submitted? I am using version 1.1 of the validation plugin (http://bassistance.de/ jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/) I want to do something only when the form is submitted, so tried this basic code: $("form").validate( { showErrors: function(errors) { alert("should only fire on submit"); } }) The alert shows when I try to submit the form, and also when I click the page after dismissing the alert.
