Description
AFFLICTED BROWSER:
ie6 only (works fine in ie7 and FF)
PAGE ENCODING:
UTF-8 (works fine with page encoding set to ISO-xxxx-xx)
SYMTOM:
Browser throws out a js error and refused to return false and validate upon form submits:
"jQuery.validator.messages is null or not an object."
ROOT CAUSE:
The regex at line 976 (jquery.validate.js version 1.5) is flawed with utf-8 encoding in ie6.
