Something like this, assuming the textarea with name "myTextarea" and
a checkbox with id "myCheckbox":
$("#myForm").validate({
rules: {
myTextarea: {
required: "#myCheckbox:checked"
}
}
});
You can basically use any jQuery-selector as the expression. If it
returns no elements, the element isn't be required, otherwise it is.
