[jQuery] Custom error message for remote validation

[BH]

Hello,

I'm using the jQuery Validation plugin (which is awesome by the way).
I need to dynamically add a validation rule, so I use the rules("add",
rules) method. I set it up to do remote validation, which works, but I
want to display a custom message, not the default "Please fix this
field." message.

I tried to do something like this:

$("#include_patterns").rules("add", {
    remote: "/my/remote/check_valid/",
    messages: {
        remote: "Please enter a valid pattern."
    }
});

based on the example from 
http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation/rules#examples:

$("#myinput").rules("add", {
 required: true,
 minlength: 2,
 messages: {
   required: "Required input",
   minlength: jQuery.format("Please, at least {0} characters are
necessary")
 }
});

but it still gives the default "Please fix this field." message.

Does this custom message not work for remote?

Thanks!
BH
