Why do I get the following error when doing the following inside the jQuery validation plugin by bassistance? IMO this should have worked, but I get this:

SyntaxError: missing : after property id

var type = $(this).type; //This is a hidden field in the form 





$(#myForm).validate({



    var type = $(this).type;

    rules: {

        name: {

            required: true,

            minlength: 3,

            maxlength: 51

        },

    },

It's because the validate method accepts object, yet you did not pass an object, try

$(#myForm).validate({



type : $(this).type,

rules: {

    name: {

        required: true,

        minlength: 3,

        maxlength: 51

    },
