            minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long"
        },
        confirm_password: {
            required: "Please provide a confirm password",

            equalTo: "Please enter the same password as above"

Answer 1

you can try something like this:

$(document).ready(function(){

  jQuery.validator.addMethod("noSpace", function(value, element) { 
  return value.indexOf(" ") < 0 && value != ""; 
}, "No space please and don't leave it empty");


$("form").validate({
   rules: {
      name: {
          noSpace: true
      }
   }
  });


})
