Stop shaking them so hard. They're all probably just passing out. :)

Hi,

Guys i have solved this problem by using the animation effect instead using shake.

Shake can be used to the group of the controlls then that will be good.

i used

highlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
$(element).stop()
.removeClass(validClass)
.addClass(errorClass)
.removeClass(validClass)
.css({position: 'relative'})
.animate({ left: -10 },150)
.animate({ left: 0 },150)
.animate({ left: 10 },150)
.animate({ left: 0 },150);
},</pre>

instead of

<pre lang="cs">highlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
$(element).stop()
.removeClass(validClass)
.addClass(errorClass)
.removeClass(validClass)
.effect('shake', {times: 4, distance: 5}, focus())
.css('border-color', 'Red')
;
},</pre>

and it solved my problem.

Thanks everyone

Solution 1

I'm not sure what passing in focus() does with your .effect call but I'm willing to bet that is your problem.
Try placing .focus() after your .css call.
