Woohoo! That was easy enough. Thanks a ton for this amazing plugin. I'm sad that this is the first time I've used it.

The function is expected to return the formated message, so you can just return the string value you want to display at the end of your function.

The validation portion works great, but I've got a question about the error message if the validation fails. I discovered that you can pass a function rather than a plain string as seen below in the remote key. The problem is that when I do this, I lose the ability to display a string of my choosing. Does anyone know how to accomplish both? messages: { pagealias: { required: 'Page alias is required', remote: function(){ // highlight the field $field.pulse(); // display message 'This page alias is already in use' } } } Andy Matthews Senior Web Developer www.dealerskins.com P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
