Thanks :) Got some other help from the author:
An additional filter method:
$.validator.addMethod("strippedminlength", function(value, element, param) {
return $(value).text().length >= param
}, $.format("Please enter at least {0} characters"));
and a class using this method:
class="{required:true,strippedminlength:5}"
That works great :)
