While it is not exactly the best way to do it (it uses undocumented
settings), I have found a solution, but still have one issue - the
showErrors function still runs when there are no errors (i.e. the
errors parameter is an empty object).
var validator = $("form").validate(
{
onblur: function(){},
onkeyup: function(el)
{
if(validator.check(el))
$(el).removeClass(validator.settings.errorClass);
else
$(el).addClass(validator.settings.errorClass);
},
showErrors: function(errors)
{
alert("should only fire on submit");
}
});
