What do your radio buttons look like? What do you want to validate? Please provide an example.

At the page below, I've moved the "radio buttons" from demo/radio-checkbox-select-demo.html into the custom-methods-demo.html (yes... I mixed the two...)

I moved the CSS that was in the header of demo/radio-checked-select-demo.html into the "custom methods" html file, too, just for good measure.

When I submit the form, I've got issues... :(

Thank you for looking at it :-)

The problem is in the errorPlacement callback - you are assuming that the input field is a direct child of the td . Fix it like this :

1.             errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
2.                 error.appendTo(element.closest("td").next("td"));
3.             },

@kbwood.au -->  YEAH!

These icons are set through CSS based on the error /success classes applied to the messages. I've updated my example to use Unicode characters instead of background images to achieve the same effect.

@kbwood.au --> SO far so good!

One of my issues in the past was that I had neglected to update my jquery.js file. I guess it was too old :(
Now that that is updated, the form is working as I had hoped EXCEPT for the Checkbox Group called 'spam[]'.

My spam[] checkbox validation problem:
FIRST... the Good news: If I submit the form before checking any of the "spam" checkboxes, it correctly gives me the the error message.
THEN... the Bad news: I begin checking spam boxes and the error message for the checkboxes does not go away or change to ✓ok! like it should.

Could you add checkboxes to your jsfiddle so we could see how that would work?
