+For a quick overview of what this plugin provides, check out this [Webucator](https://www.webucator.com/) video (they also provide [jQuery trainings](https://www.webucator.com/webdesign/jquery.cfm)):
+
+<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yaxUV3Ib4vM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>


The embedded YouTube <iframe> is missing a title attribute, which is required for accessible iframe content (screen readers need a label). Add a descriptive title (and consider adding loading="lazy" to reduce initial page load).

+  **rules** *(Any)* (default: `rules are read from markup (classes, attributes, data)`)
+
+  Key/value pairs defining custom rules. Key is the name of an element (or a group of checkboxes/radio buttons), value is an object consisting of rule/parameter pairs or a plain String. Can be combined with class/attribute/data rules. Each rule can be specified as having a depends-property to apply the rule only in certain conditions. See the second example below for details. Example: Specifies a name element as required and an email element as required (using the shortcut for a single rule) and a valid email address (using another object literal). $("#myform").validate({ rules: { // simple rule, converted to {required:true} name: "required", // compound rule email: { required: true, email: true } } }); Example: Specifies a contact element as required and as email address, the latter depending on a checkbox being checked for contact via email. $("#myform").validate({ rules: { contact: { required: true, email: { depends: function(element) { return $("#contactform_email").is(":checked"); } } } } }); Example: Configure a rule that requires a parameter, along with a `depends` callback. $("#myform").validate({ rules: { // at least 15€ when bonus material is included pay_what_you_want: { required: true min: { // min needs a parameter passed to it param: 15, depends: function(element) { return $("#bonus-material").is(":checked"); } } } } });


The rules examples are embedded inline and at least one is syntactically invalid JavaScript (pay_what_you_want: { required: true min: { ... } } is missing a comma after required: true). This makes the docs misleading; consider rendering these as fenced code blocks and fixing the object literal syntax.
