I'm using the jquery.validation plugin by Jörn Zaefferer and I was wondering whether there's a easy way to trim form elements before they are validated.
For example, if I'm validating a email address: "t...@test.com " using the "email : true" rule, it'll display an error because the trailing whitespace is invalidating the email format. I was hoping I could chain "jQuery.trim(value)" before the validation so the whitespace is removed and the validation error never occurs? Disclaimer: The jquery.validation plugin documentation page currently isn't working (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation) so I can't RTFM.
