bypass validation with jQuery
<p>this is the first time i've used Validation with jQuery and my code to validate a dropdown is:</p>

<pre><code>jQuery(dropdown).validate({
    expression: "if (VAL != '-1') return true; else return false;"
});
</code></pre>

<p>this works ofcourse when i want my 'dropdown' to be validated.</p>

<p>ISSUE: I'm adding a class = "ignore" to dropdown when i don't want it to be validated, is there a way to bypass the validation when my dropdown has a class "ignore"?</p>

<p>I've tried to add IGNORE but i don't know if it's the right way,(obviously it isn't because it's not working):</p>

<pre><code>jQuery(dropdown).validate({
    expression: "if (VAL != '-1') return true; else return false;",
    ignore: ".ignore"
});
</code></pre>

<p>this is the code i've tried. please help mo on this. thanks in advance</p>
