Q:

jquery validate with ONE Error-Message for all formelements

I have a problem. 
I must use the jquery validation function/plugin and i would like ONE error-Message for all formelements. 
The errormessage would be display out of my form, at the top of my page. 

A:

OK - i have a solution for my problem. 
I have write a new code base (the old code was to dirty) for this project and with the following code, i can use a default error handling. 
   $('#FORMID').validate({

    errorContainer: container,
    meta: "validate",

    onfocusout: false,
    showErrors: function(errorMap, errorList){
        $('li.error').show();
        this.defaultShowErrors();
    },
...
