Here's some old code I pulled off the shelf...uses jq validate

        var validator = $("#new_user").validate({
                rules: {
                        "user[login]": {
                                        required: true,
                                        minlength: 3,
                                        remote: "/users/login_taken"
                        }
                 }
         });

Pardon the abysmal formatting.
