                        }));
                    </script> 

Answer 1

you need to use it like this validator: dojox.validate.us.isSocialSecurityNumber no parenthesis, no quotes.

you also need dojo.require("dojox.validate.us");

so this is what you should use, based on your code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    dojo.require("dojox.validate.us");
    Spring.addDecoration(new Spring.ElementDecoration({
        elementId : "name",
        widgetType : "dijit.form.ValidationTextBox",
        widgetAttrs : {
            promptMessage : "US Social Security Number",
            invalidMessage : "Invalid US Social Security Number.",
            required : true,
            validator: dojox.validate.us.isSocialSecurityNumber,
            trim : true
            }
        }));
</script>
