Thank you!
For jQuery 1.5.2 & jQuery Validate 1.8.0 I use it like:

jQuery.validator.addMethod(
“notEqualTo”,
function (value, element, param) {
return this.optional(element) || value != param.val();
},
“Please specify a different value”
);

and:

…
rules: {
oneCity: {
notEqualTo: $(‘#anotherCityId)’)
},
anotherCity: {
notEqualTo: $(‘#oneCityId’)
}
},
…

Maybe your additional-methods.js was cached and was not picking up new changes?

I couldn’t get this work in the additional-methods.js, so I added this to main jquery.validate.js file

notequalTo: function(value, element, param) {
return this.optional(element) || value != $(param).val();
},

It should be an array so it would be something like
notEqualTo:['Paikkakunta']

Should this work also in jQuery 1.4.2 and Validator 1.7?

I’ve tried to put it in use at my site http://www.muistiohjelma.fi but it doesn’t seem to validate this:
rules: {
paikkakunta: {
required: true,
notEqualTo:’Paikkakunta’,
},
}

Can you use string there like have in this?
