[jQuery] validation plugin addMethod does not work for me.


what am I doing wrong here? I cannot figure out how to use the
addMethod().
var frmSubmittal = $("#frmSubmittal");
//validates the form
frmSubmittal.validate({
                            debug: false,
                            focusCleanup: false,
                            focusInvalid: false,
                            onfocusout: false,
                            onkeyup: false,
                            errorPlacement: function(error, element) {error.prependTo
( element.parents("div.ctrlHolder"));},
                            errorElement:'div',
                            errorClass:'valerror'
});
$.validator.addMethod( "company", function(value, element) {alert
("hello"); return false;}, "Enter a Company Name" );
