Can the jQuery validate plugin be used to sanitize fields to prevent SQL injection? I got the impression that it does but it's not working with the standard settings and I haven't found any information on how specifically to set it up.

These are my current settings:

1.   $(document).ready(function() {
2.     // validate signup form on keyup and submit
3.     var validator = $("#customer_info").validate({
4.         rules: {
5.              fname: "required",
6.             lname: "required",
7.             user_name: {
8.                 required: true,
9.                 remote: "check_username.php"
10.             },
11.             password: {
12.                 required: true,
13.                 minlength: 6
14.             },           
15.             email: {
16.                 required: true,
17.                 email: true,
18.             },           
19.             security_question: "required",
20.             terms: "required",
21.         },
22.         messages: {
23.             fname: "",
24.             lname: "",       
25.             user_name: {
26.                 required: "",
27.                     remote: jQuery.format('</br>User Name {0} already in use'),
28.                 },
29.             password: "",   
30.             email: {required: ""},
31.             security_question: "",
32.             terms: "</br>Please accept terms and conditions",
33.             },       
34.         errorLabelContainer: "#messageBox",
35.                     submitHandler: function () {
36.                         jQuery(form).ajaxSubmit({
37.                         });
38.                     }
39.                 });
40.             });
