Question: how to switch off the extra labels that appear when validation fails? about ezform

[johndpope]

fyi - I'm building form programatically

    firstNameTF.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;

    EZFormTextField *firstName = [[EZFormTextField alloc] initWithKey:kSMFirstName];
    firstName.validationMinCharacters = 1;
    firstName.inputMaxCharacters = 32;
    [self.form addFormField:firstName];
    [firstName useTextField:firstNameTF]; // glue the model together
    firstName.invalidIndicatorPosition =  EZFormTextFieldInvalidIndicatorPositionLeft;

    lastNameTF = [[UITextField alloc] initWithFrame:tfRect];
    lastNameTF.delegate = self;
    lastNameTF.placeholder = @"Last Name";

    lastNameTF.layer.shadowRadius = 0.0;

my bad - initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleValue1 was the culprit.

switched to use

UITableViewCell *cell = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:nil];

and all good.
