You could use the errorPlacement method:

$("#myform").validate({
    errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
        error.appendTo(element.parent("td").next("td"));
    }
});

this isn't in a table format . can i do that in a div with an id?

Of course you can. I just posted a sample which you could adapt to your scenario. You can append the error wherever you like.
