Problem using validate and checkboxs

Problem using validate and checkboxs

Hey all,

I am sure there is an easy answer to this, but I cant figure it out. 

I have a list of days, e,g,  Monday <input type='checkbox' value='monday' name='day[]' />

in the validation, I have,

....
day: {
                                                required: true,
                                                minlength: 1
}

.....

However, JQuery wont recognize this.    I have tried day[], but that produces an error.  I need the [] so PHP can get the data into an array. 

Hope this is clear, let me know if you need more information.
