Nate, I don't know if my previous msg was sent--gmail's acting a bit screwy.
Try putting quotes around the element name:
'data[UserContactDetail][phone]': {phoneUS: true}
Validate uses the name as a key in its rules hash, so I can't see it
working without quotes. (I haven't yet used Validate with Cake's
FormHelper)
I can confirm that jQuery can find the element with:
$('input[name="data[UserContactDetail][phone]"]')
I'm not clear on exactly how Validate gets the element, though. That
code rivals some of Cake's more ... "difficult" classes ;-)
