I really like the way LiveValidation runs; however, I REALLY LOVE jQuery selectors & chaining. Unfortunately the LiveValidation approach to validation doesn't feel right when looking at a lot of field-specific validators surrounded by super terse jQuery syntax.

I called the plugin, TrustButVerify . Check it out & let me know your thoughts or if there is room for improvement (which there definitely is).
