jQuery Validation Plugin with multipleSelect dropdown

Hello All, I am trying to validate the dropdown checkbox multipleSelect with the JQuery Validation plugin but am unable to get it to 'see' the fields within the dropdown. All other form fields validate properly Client Side and my Server Side validations all work properly, I reallyneed the Client side to validate this field though.Also, the error/ success box blocks the email and phone fields so in order to correct either one of those, the page has to be refreshed, how can I move the position of the message box?

I've got it uploaded to my testing site at, http://www.cptest.info/subscribe_2/index.php
