Validate Plugin - addMethod with Custom Messages?

[itsallgood]

Hi guys,

I've been trying to work this out for about 7 hours - no exaggeration.
I just cannot seem to work it out :-(


I have used the sample code from "custom-methods-demo.html"

        $.validator.addMethod("buga", function(value) {
                return value == "buga";
        }, 'Please enter "buga"!');

and I am trying to make it so i can have custom messages. Ideally like
this...

        $.validator.addMethod("buga", function(value) {
                var message = '';
                if(value == 'word'){
                        message = "4 letters or more";
                        return false;
                } else if(value == 'test'){
                        message = "Numbers Only";
                        return false;
                } else if(value == 'great'){
                        message = "Message 3";
                        return false;
                }else{
                        return true;
                }
        }, message);

I'm using it as follows:

                        rules: {
                                username: {
                                        buga: true
                                }
                        }


Any help on how to do this would be great! Thanks so much for reading
this.

Many thanks.
