[quote author="dottedquad" date="1300138147"]After debugging your example I noticed a strange behaviour. The code worked as expected, but as soon as I removed the required from the set_rules I would receive the errors I mentioned before. I am checking form validation via AJAX. Jquery executes an AJAX POST function on change. I am not doing the 'traditional' form validation using a submit button. I am officially stumped. Maybe a patch is required? Would it help if I uploaded the javascript, form, and codeigiter code?

Yes, of course it would help to see what you are dealing with. The problem for me is yesterday was my day and I had more time to help. I'm sure somebody else will help though.
