I am trying to use the JQuery Validation Plugin found at jqueryvalidation.org and I have the validation working fine on the site.

However, the site uses a floating menu so when you click the form submit button the page scrolls to the form input field that the validation error message is for. But the floating menu gets in the way of this functionality. 

There must be a simple way to add an offset top margin to this so that when you click submit and the validation scrolls to the form field that needs to be addressed that it also adds a margin to the top of the page to accommodate for the floating menu? 

See screenshot below.

Can anyone help?
