I used the answer of @Reigel but it didn't work for me.

I have change his example like this :

  $(document).ready(function(){

    jQuery.validator.addMethod("noSpace", function(value, element) { 
      return value == '' || value.trim().length != 0;  
    }, "No space please and don't leave it empty");


    $("form").validate({
       rules: {
          name: {
              noSpace: true
          }
       }
    });


  })

In my opinion noSpace isn't responsible to verify empty TextBox(Input). It is responsible to check value if some things was entered.

And it will be a good idea if you use jQuery.validator.addMethod... in other JS file and add this JS file to your master page or some things like that.
