I am using Joern's jquery validation plugin 1.6.

My goal is to have the following behavior: remove the error message for an element once the user focuses it. From what I understand setting 'focusCleanup: true' should take care of this.

However (at least on my browser (Firefox 3.5.7 on Linux)), I only get the desired behavior (ie, error message for a field disappearing once you focus it) if I click into the field; it doesn't handle tabbing into the field correctly.

Sample code:

HTML:

   <form id='abc' name='abc'>
    <input type="text" id="t1" name="t1"/>
    <input type="text" id="t2" name="t2"/>
    <input type="submit" id="submit" value='submit'/> 
    </form>

JS:

   $("#abc").validate({
   focusCleanup: true,
   focusInvalid: false,

    rules: {t1: {required: true, email:true}, t2: {required: true,email:true}}
});

I am setting 'focusInvalid: false' because the docs say one should avoid combining focusCleanup and focusInvalid; in my experience commenting out that line makes no difference.

Am I doing something wrong?
