jquery .remove() does not remove these validation handlers

[[email protected]…]

I have found a little conflict, a problem that is either caused by jquery or livevalidation:

Livevalidation "hangs on" to elements that have been removed by jquery.

See a minimal test case here:

​https://gist.github.com/3803865

The use case is a form I am making that can expand to register more participants. When I remove one from the form, the form cannot be submitted. I have worked around the problem by looping over the to-be-removed input elements and call destroy() on them from Livevalidation.

I have sent info on this in the feedback form on livevalidation.com too.

Seems pretty clear that the plugin is caching the element:

this.element = element.nodeName ? element : document.getElementById(element)

So it's no wonder the element stays around once jQuery removes it from the document. This isn't a jQuery bug.
