<div class="fm">
<label for="titulo">Titulo:</label>
<input name="titulo" class="required" type="text" value="" />

<div class="fm">
<label for="nota">Nota:</label>
<textarea id="nota" name="nota" class="required"></textarea>

</fieldset>
<input class="submit" name="Submit" value="Guardar" type="submit" />
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
var valid = new Validation('form');
</script>
</body>
</html>
En este caso, los dos campos del form son requeridos, class="required". No te olvides de incluir los ficheros:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="js/mooValidation.js"></script>
Saludos.
