Why is the wrong field value shown in the error message when using jQuery (remote) validation?

Question

I\'m using the jQuery validation plugin in a very similar manner to the Remember The Milk demo.

$(\"#registrationForm\").validate({
  rules: {      
    email: {         


        

Answer 1

The user name field on the Remember the Milk demo fails in the same way (when entering user names 'Peter' and 'George'), so you've probably found a bug in the plugin.
