[jQuery Validation Plugin] Bug with name of elements containing dot

Hello,
My form is being properly validated when the name of input elements are normal. But when the form element contains a dot, then I believe there is a parsing problem inside the rules() function. <br clear="all">
Kindly try renaming the firstname element to user.firstname
            user.firstname: {
                required : "#newUser:checked",
                minlength : 5
                },

Thanks
Ram
