Q: 

jQuery form validation: standard windows dialog box when field is invalid

I need a very basic client-side form validation: whenever an invalid field is encountered display a standard windows dialog box, stop checking the remaining fields, and cancel submission.

What is the easiest way to do the above with jQuery?

A: 

How about alert("message")?

Think about your users though - this might not be the best user experience.

I know how to popup a standard dialog box in js. What I need is a mechanism to add some validation rules with jQuery, and adjust this mechanism so that it popups an alert box whenever an invalid field is encountered.

What's wrong with the standard jQuery validation plugin?

Nothing is wrong, I just don't know if it's capable of doing what I need.

... and not sure if it's not an overkill for such a simple task

Aparently I don't know how to handle pre's very well. Sorry for that.
