    Try this, I think your syntax was a bit off.

    $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#form2").validate({
        rules: {
          name: "required",// simple rule, converted to {required:true}
          email: {// compound rule
              required: true,
              email: true
          },
          url: {
             url: true
          },
          comment: {
             required: true
          }
        },
        messages: {
          comment: "Please enter a comment.",
          name: "upgrade",
          email: "insert here"
        }
      });
    });
