These docs have demos and example code.. Its very helpful.

Thanks I looked at those properties and example page, but there isn't any example that places the error messages after the input fields AND inside a validation summary panel. I think the library doesn't support this kind of functionality?

LD2008...you have to use your imagination. look at my example

Here is a link to display the error in the title attribute of the input, Clearly it is different than what you want but use your imagination and instead of appending an attribute add a span element with the text. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2375584/how-to-not-display-error-element-as-label-with-jquery-validation-plugin

As for the other part of your question showErrors option should assist you. But really before using a framework, read the documentation. I will say the documentation is not well formated but is very useful if you read it and make simple examples using the features. Sorry about the vauge comments, but Its friday night and im drinking a beer. didnt really want to code much.. was just checking out some stuff.
