Jquery Validate: overriding "required' css class

Jquery Validate: overriding "required' css class

Hey everyone.


I'm redesigning a large website right now, and the problem i'm having is that there is already a CSS class called "required" that has been used extensively all over the site.  However, I want to use the jQuery.validate.js for the forms.  is there any way to override this?

Thanks,
