validate plugin - using classes

Hi - I'm using the following to validate my form, which works fine...but what I'm hoping is to apply this validation via the element class name and not the name.  I know there's got to be an easy way and I'm just missing it....anyone?

  1.     $("#form").validate({
            rules: {
                "inputname": {limitCheckdual: true},
                "anotherinputname": {limitCheckdual: true},
                "adifferentinputname": {limitCheckdual: true},
                "adifferentinputnameetc": {limitCheck: true},
                "adifferentinputnameetc1": {limitCheck: true},
                "settings_custom[EndClassYear]": {
                    yearRangeCheck: true








  2.         }
  3.     });
