jQuery validation

If:

<input id="Firstname" name="Firstname" type="text" class="inputwidth300" tabindex="1" title="Please enter your last name" required="true" >

Displays the validation message for an input box, what is the syntax to do the same with a text area?

I thought it would just be:

<textarea name="product_details" id="product_details" tabindex="9" rows="4" title="Please list the products you would like to register." required="true"></textarea>

But that doesn't seem to be working?

Probably missing something simple, but its a while since I did this, and thought it was just a case of linking to the jquery and Bloom css files, and the title and required values in the input / text area did the rest.

Thanks.

I took the exact textarea code and tried it on a test page and the validation showed for me... it must be something else on the page causing the issue.

Do you have a url where I can see the problem?

Thanks Ray, details below.

It looks like your form tag is inside of your previous div tag. You need to make sure your entire form is wrapped inside the form tag.

Thanks Ray - have tweaked the position of the <form> tags and its fixed it right up.
