Question

Using jquery validation on a beta sign up form, like this:-

$('#beta_signup_form').validate({
    rules: {
        name: {
            required: true,
            minlength: 4
        },
        email: {
            required: true,
            email: true 
        }
    },
    errorElement: "span"

});

I only want to error element to show up when the user leaves the “name” field and when the user leaves the “email” field.

This seems to be a straightforward config issue but I am having trouble finding the right way to do it. How can do I specify this?
