[jQuery] Re: [validate] Allowing letters only in a text input?

Deron,

you would need to add the rule:
lettersonly: true // assuming you want name to be validated with
lettersonly

to any set of rules that you want this method to apply to

I have an example form set up here: http://ecommerce.i-cre8.com/admin/add-new-test.php
that shows how you can set up custom rules
