Greetings,

I have problem with errorPlacement, I'm trying to place the error message next to the field but it appearing on the top of the page.

any advice how to fix this problem??

here is my code:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Master.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="IMAM_APPLICATION.WebForm1" %>
<%@ Register assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" tagprefix="asp" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">


    <script src="js/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <script src="js/jquery.validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>


    <script type="text/javascript">

        $(document).ready(function() {
            $("#aspnetForm").validate({
                groups: {
                    username: "fname lname",
                    address: "address1 phone"
                },
                errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
                    if (element.attr("name") == "fname"
|| element.attr("name") == "lname")
                        error.insertAfter("#lastname");
                    else
                        error.insertAfter(element);
                },
                debug: true
            })
        });

    </script>

</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
