title: jQuery validation, changing the color of seperate labels
body: <p>I'd like to start by saying I'm new to jQuery, but not programming in general. This is killing me and I can't find the answer anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I'm trying to do:</p>
  
  <p>I have a form, and for this example I'm just going to use my two main requirements. I'm trying to input a part name and a part number. When the user doesn't enter one of them, I want to change the color of the label next to the input box, while disabling the messages portion of validate.</p>
  
  <p>So, for example. When the user doesn't enter a part number, I want to change this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;label for="part_name"&gt;Part Name&lt;/label&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;label for="part_name" style="color: #fa0008;"&gt;Part Name&lt;/label&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br>
  Here's my code so far. 
  <br><br>
  <strong>HTML</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class='type_left'&gt;&lt;label for="part_name"&gt;Part Name&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class='type_left'&gt;&lt;input type="text" id="part_name" name="part_name"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  
  &lt;div class='type_left'&gt;&lt;label for="hj_part"&gt;hj Part Number&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;div class='type_left'&gt;&lt;input type='text' name='hj_part'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>jQuery</strong> (note: This all works fine. I am running in debug mode so it doesn't try and submit.)</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Validate "Add Part" form ----------------
  //------------------------------------------
  
  $j('#addpartform').validate({
      debug: true,
      rules: {
          part_name: {
           required: true
          },
          hj_part: {
           required: true
          },
      },
  
      errorPlacement: function(error, element) { },
  
      invalidHandler: function(form, validator) { 
          var errors = validator.numberOfInvalids();
          if (errors) {
              alert("Hey man, you didn't enter something.")
          }           
      },
      submitHandler: function(form) { alert("works!") }
  
  });
  
  //------------------------------------------
  // End "Add Part" form validation ----------
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What do I need to add to my validate function to do this?? </p>
  
  <p>To me it sounds like it would be super simple, but I just cannot figure it out.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance for your help.
