You use invalid identifiers, see http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/Reference#Fields_with_complex_names_.28brackets.2C_dots.29 That doesn't work anywhere.
You've also got trailing comma errors in your code, see eg. http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/fritz/archive/2007/06/19/47771.aspx That doesn't work in IE.
