title: jquery.validation - how to ignore default values when validating mandatory fields
body: <p>I am using jquery validation plugin to validate a registration form.</p>
  
  <p>Each text input field has instructions pre-filled as values in the input box </p>
  
  <p>ex: for a text-input box id='Name', the default value will be set to 'Enter Your Name'. I have pasted below sample code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input type="text" id="Name" value="Enter Your Name" onfocus="if(this.value == 'Your Name'){this.value = '';}" type="text" class="required" onblur="if(this.value == ''){this.value='Your Name';}" size="25" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What I need to know is how to specify in the validation rule such that the plugin throws a required field error if the input box contains either the default message or empty values.</p>
  
  <p>Help much appreciated.</p>
