title: jQuery Validation plugin - Validating hidden inputs and not visible?
body: <p>How would I validate hidden inputs and not visible text inputs with jQuery Form Validation plugin? The problem is, that I'm using auto-suggest plugin, which generates a hidden input for selected items:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input id="hiddenInput" type="hidden" name="something" value="1" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have 2 inputs like this (both of them only allow 1 item), which I want to validate and display the error in parent <code>&lt;td&gt;</code>.
  This is what I've gotten so far, but it doesn't display the error or submit a form, if the value is actually a number.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#form1").validate({
          rules: {
              something: {
                  number:true,
                  min:1,
                  required:true
              }
          }
          })
  </code></pre>
