How to add a Not Equal To rule in jQuery.validation

Question

I was wondering how to make it so that I could make a rule where a field is not equal to a value. Like I have a field called \'name\' so I don\'t want \'name\' = \'Your Name

Not sure if you got your answer but:

return this.optional(element) || value != param;

won't work if the value is variable.

It needs to read:

return this.optional(element) || value != $(param).val();
