[jQuery] validation plug in flicker

[Rabbott]

I am using the jquery validation plugin, i am wanting to place all the
errors in one div at the top of the form - which works. The problem is
that the first time I submit the form (in FF for MAC) the classes that
get assigned to the form elements get added, and removed real quickly.
(I have a bg color of red on the form, so i can see a flicker
basically) - works just fine in safari. has anyone seen anything like
this?
