rewrite of earlier question of jquery plugin validation with twitter bootstrap

Hi everyone,

I am rewriting this question to hopefully crystallize my question better:

I am new to jquery and JS. I have a form which I am building with twitter bootstrap and trying to validate using the plugin validate at  jquery.validate.js.

You can see the live page at:

http://optionhomes.net/index.php/test1/index

I have a row with 3 input fields. If any of the inputs fail validation I want an error class to be added to the parent .control-group class.i figured I would iterate through the input elements of the row and check each to see if they pass validation if 1 doesn't I set a variable ( valid ) to false for the entire row. I can then add the error class after.

So far, I have the following jquery code, but I'm getting a syntax error. Can someone give me some pointers?
The element function is from http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Validator/element#overview

  1.                 var valid = true;
                    $('.controls').children.each(function{if(!$(this).validate().element()) {valid=false} })
         





Here is the HTML for the row:

  1. <div class="form_row" >

        <div class="control-group">
                <label class="control-label" for="input01">city</label>
                  <div class="controls">
                    <input type="text" class="input-xlarge span3" id="city" name="city" value="<?php echo $this->property->city ?>"  rel="popover" data-content="Re-enter your city." data-original-title="city" >
                    <input type="text" class="input-xlarge span3" id="state" name="state" value="<?php echo $this->property->state ?>"  rel="popover" data-content="Re-enter your state." data-original-title="state" >
                    <input type="number" class="input-xlarge span2" id="zip" name="zip" value="<?php echo $this->property->zip ?>"  rel="popover" data-content="Re-enter your zip code." data-original-title="zip" >

                  </div>
            </div>
         
        </div>











Thanks in advance,

Bill
