Thanks Leonardo...
I figured it out after digging through several examples. The
documentation for this plugin has a huge gap in it. It shows an
example of how to define a custom validator but no where does it
explain how to use it. The trick being as you mentioned, defining it
in the Rules or you can put the name of your custom validator in the
class attribute of the field it applies to.
The sad part is after hours of struggling with this it does not work
as I had hoped it would. I am prompting the user for input and based
on their response I would like to either cancel the form submit or
allow it to continue.
