title: jQuery Validate plugin is validating a field which has become "disabled"
body: <p>I have a field <code>gender?</code> which enables <code>is Pregnant?</code> if gender is set to FEMALE,</p>
  
  <p>then if <code>is Pregnant?</code> field is unanswered, it's flagged as invalid. </p>
  
  <p>If you go back and set <code>gender?</code> to MALE  The validation still flags <code>is Pregnant?</code> as invalid, even though it has been <code>disabled</code>.</p>
  
  <p>jQuery says <code>disabled</code> fields are ignored.  I even tried: 
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6403332/jquery-validate-validating-disabled-field">jquery.validate validating disabled field</a></p>
  
  <pre><code>ignore: ":hidden"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing?</p>
