I'm grouping to textfields into one validation group, but when trying this i noticed that their websites example is not working correctly.

in this flow the validation message disappears:

without changing the textfield values ("Pete", empty) click on submit.

the cursor automatically focuses the second field.

focus the first textfield

click surounding area to lose focus.

in this flow the validation message is shown:

focus first field

focus second field

click surounding area to lose focus.

i would not expect this behavior.

Code from the official jQuery site http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/validate#toptions (groups -section)

$("#myform").validate({

groups: {

username: "fname lname"

},

errorPlacement: function(error, element) {

if (element.attr("name") == "fname"

|| element.attr("name") == "lname" )

error.insertAfter("#lastname");

else

error.insertAfter(element);

},

debug:true

})
