hi, i'm new to jquery, i'm currently using the validation plugin to validate my forms. here's my code <script src="includes/jquery/jquery.validate.js" type="text/ javascript"></script> <script src="includes/jquery/cmxforms.js" type="text/javascript"></ script>
<script type="text/javascript"> $.validator.setDefaults({ submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); } }); $().ready(function() { $("#addrest").validate({ rules: { restname: "required" }, messages: { restname: "<br><font face=\"Arial\" style=\"font-size: 9pt\" color= \"#96A26F\">Please enter your Restaurant Name</font>" } }); }); $(document).ready(function() { $('#yes').click(function(){ $('#tr').hide(); }); $('#no').click(function(){ $('#tr').show(); }); }); </script> <form method="post" action="add.php" id="addrest" class="cmxform"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" id="Table6"> <tr> <td valign="top" align="left" style="width: 98px"> <font color="#B9A49B" face="Arial" style="font-size: 8pt"> <label for="restname">Restaurant Name</label> </font> </td> <td valign="top" align="left" style="width: 204px"> <input type="text" class="required" name="restname" id="restname" size="35" style="font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial; color: #56443D; background-color:#E1D9D5"> </td> </tr> </table> </form> the above code is working and shows the "required field" but when i press the submit button agian it adds another message under the old one. also when i type in something the "required field" doesn't go it stays. this happens on opera and FF but not in IE7. any ideas?? thx
