[jQuery] [validate] multiple errorClass question

[jQuery] [validate] multiple errorClass question


To get the effect I want, I've had to patch the jquery validate
library. Is there a simpler method instead?
Problem:
I want my error label element to have two classes, and for it's
distant parent to have a class, so I do some tweaking to the label
argument of the errorPlacement option.
When validation runs, it resets the classes on the label and adds the
1 error class. So I see a flash of what I want for a second.
Initial Solution:
jquery.validate.js line 600 (inside of showLabel)
- label.removeClass().addClass( this.settings.errorClass );
+ label.addClass( this.settings.errorClass );
Is there a better way? I'd rather not patch validate. Ideally a
callback after showLabel or something.
Great library BTW!
