[jQuery] [validate] Bold normal label text when using error message container

[jQuery] [validate] Bold normal label text when using error message container


The code:
$("#formID").validate({
errorLabelContainer: $('#error_list'),
}
});
The html:
<div id="error_list" class="hide">
<strong>The following errors have occurred...</strong><br />
<label for="first_name" class="error">Please enter the first name
<br /></label>
</div>
<form id="formID">
<label for="first_name">First Name:</lable>
<input type="text" id="first_name" name="first_name" />
</form>
When submitting, everything seems to be working as it should, the
"error" class is being appended to the input and is changing per the
input.error css definition in the css file.
However, I need the label to be bold. For some reason, the input tag
has the "error" class appended to it, but not the label for that
input. Is there any way to do this while using two labels (one for the
error list container, another for the form element itself)?
