[jQuery] Re: validate plugin step by step form

[James]

You can create different options in a variable an assign it to
$.validate().

var option1 = {
    rules: { ... }
    messages: { ... }
}

var option2 = {
    rules: { ... }
    messages: { ... }
}

Call the appropriate one depending on which step you're in:
$("#saverForm").validate(option1);
$("#saverForm").validate(option2);
