I want the function to trigger when there are errors it's to alter the position of both the errors and other elements on the page.
So I got the function to fire but I can't seem to changes the css on the error boxes. $('label .error').css({'left' : basePossitionOffset.left}); Does not work. I should be able to alter the error messages just like anyother element in the DOM right?
