2. $("#createAccount").validate({
3. rules: {
4.          userName: {
5. required: true,
6. minlength: 2,
7. remote: "users.php"
8. }},
9. messages: {
10. userName: {
11. required: "Enter a username",
12. minlength: jQuery.format("Enter at least {0} characters"),
13. remote: jQuery.format("{0} is already in use")
14. }}
15. 
    

I have set up this validation rule and message from the examples that came in the JQuery.validation plugin. The first time the validation displays the correct message substituting the username into {0}. If I go into and leave the field a second time it shows the remote file name 'users.php' instead of the User name I entered.

The first time I click the submit button get 'wava66 is already in use'. If leave the field it is fine. But, the next time I enter and leave the field I get 'users.php is already in use'. 

It only seems to happen after the second time I enter and leave the field. I always get the bogus message after the second time even if I enter a different duplicate user name.
