[jQuery] [validate] does not work with fields, which have a dot "." char in their name

[Victor Kornov]

Subject pretty much states it all.

Details: I have a form like this

<form action="register.castle" method="post" id="register">
    <label for="account_name">Name</label>
    <input type="text" id="account_name" name="account.name" value=""
class="textbox" />
    <br /><span class="descr">some description</span>

    <label for="password">Password</label>
    <input type="password" id="password" name="password" value=""
class="textbox" />
    <span class="descr">more description</span>

    <input type="image" src="register-button.gif" alt="Register" />
</form>

and setup validation like:

$(function() {
        $('#register').validate({
                debug: true,
                submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); },
                rules: {
                        account_name: "required"
                        password: {
                                required: true,
                                minlength: 6
                        }
                }
        });
});

So, when I leave the form blank and click the register input,
validation fires up and displays default "required" message for
password field, but not for account_name field. SubmitHandler shows
the alert. Seems like fields with dot(s) in their names are ignored
somehow.
