[jQuery] [validate] Dependant on string does not work

[chielsen]

So i upgraded to the latest version and waisted my day :(
Seems like the dependant requiring does not work (withh 1.3.1).

The error occures for instance when you have a require: '#item:filled'
option.
What happends is in this code:

                depend: function(param, element) {
                        return this.dependTypes[typeof param]
                                ? this.dependTypes[typeof param](param, element)
                                : true;
                },

                dependTypes: {
                        "boolean": function(param, element) {
                                return param;
                        },
                        "string": function(param, element) {
                                return !!$(param, element.form).length;
                        },
                        "function": function(param, element) {
                                return param(element);
                        }
                },

The depend function gets called with '#item:filled', and the
formelement.
Then the depenTypes['string'] function gets called, with the same
arguments.

now $(param, element.form) returns nothing .. This is because a string
and an element get combined.
It does work with 2 elements or 2 strings.

Now the easy fix is to just leave of the 2nd term, element.form. IMO
you don't really need it anyway
