I am getting multiple error messages when there is an error with a field. Basically every time an event fires that triggers a check, it adds another label element. It also is not removing them when the field is fixed. Is there something simple that I'm missing?

1. var requirements, messages;
2. requirements = {
3.         required: true,
4.         maxlength: 20
5.     };
6.     messages = {
7.         required: "Required Field",
8.         maxlengh: "20 Character Limit"
9.     };
10. $('form#organization').validate({
11.         debug: true,
12.         rules: {
13.             tagDisplayName: requirements,
14.             tagDisplayNamePlural: requirements
15.         },
16.         messages: {
17.             tagDisplayName: messages,
18.             tagDisplayNamePlural: messages
19.         },
20.         errorClass: "ui-state-error ui-corner-all"
21.     });

Also, is there a way to set rules for all fields, or messages for all validation types (such as 'Required Field' for all required fields)? I'm not finding how in the docs, but wouldn't be surprised if I am missing it.


I'm using jQuery 1.3.2 and v1.6 of the validator plug-in.
