Hi, Josh...
In your HTML, did you specify a place for the error
message to appear?
This is from Jorn's example:
<label for="firstname">Firstname</label>
<input id="firstname" name="firstname" />
I handle my error messages a little different than the
example above, preferring my error messages above the input field.
If I'm not mistaken I believe you're going to need a <label... field
for the default messages to appear.
Hopefully someone will come along who can tell you for sure.
But check's Jorn's source on:
http://jquery.bassistance.de/validate/demo-test/
And it may give you some clues about how the HTML works.

Hey all,
Using Jorn's Validation plugin, it's not displaying the error message. I
must be missing something obvious. I'm just trying a test - it seems like
when I submit, if the field is empty, it should display an error message
after the input field. What am I doing wrong?
JS:
$("#editform").validate({
rules: {
FirstName : "required"
},
messages: {
FirstName : "Please enter your first name."
},
debug: true
});
Markup:
<input type="Text" size="30" name="FirstName" id="FirstName" value=""
class="formfield" maxlength="50">
