Hi Eric
The first thing that would have helped me would have been to have a list of the different validations on that page with an up/down arrow to change the order that they appear in.
Alternatively a pdf "how to" with regard to what to change in the code so that you can change the order the validation occurs in, ie that in code view there are numbers in the script and in the code that can be changed into a sequential order.
I think the thing that caused me the most problems was the fact that I added a form field after I had setup the validation and thats why it wasn't in the correct sequence.
On a slightly different subject but still related, another thing thing that would be good to add to the "add CSS to form validation" would be what to do when adding two types of validation to one field (as in my example above) as at present I can only get the background to change colour for one form of validation due to the duplicate class="" statement
