I've got a form using the jquery Validation plugin ( jQuery validation plug-in 1.5.2)
What seems to be happening is that when the form hits a validation error, the errorContainer seems to be listing all error messages/ labels, but it only highlights the Actual erring fields. Say I have a required text input field. I type something in, tab out of it, then go back in it and delete its contents (as soon as I delete it) it shows the errorContainer div with ALL error lables showing, but only highlights the single input field that is now blank. 1.) Why is it throwing the error message when i clear its contents? I'd prefer it to ignore empty fields, UNTIL the actual submit button is pressed. it there a way to turn off validation until the submit button is pressed? 2.) even if I did want it to validate onblur/onchange, or whatever, it shouldn't be showing ALL error labels within the errorContainer, but instead only the Actual invalid field error labels (like it is doing properly when highlighting the fields). any ideas? thanks.
