jQuery Validate with input arrays

Question

The following code results in the following error:

SyntaxError: Unexpected token ).

Any ideas?

$("#signupForm").validate({
    rules: {
        'entry[first_name]': "required",
        'answers[985575][answer]': "required",
        'answers[985574][answer]': {
        required: true,
        phoneUS: true
        },
        'entry[email]': {
        required: true,
        email: true
    }
    }});

The phoneUS is not a standard, built-in rule. So unless you have defined it, it won't work. As explained in the documentation you need to define it. They provide the following method that you need to include in order to define the phoneUS rule:

jQuery.validator.addMethod("phoneUS", function(phone_number, element) {
    phone_number = phone_number.replace(/\s+/g, ""); 
    return this.optional(element) || phone_number.length > 9 &&
        phone_number.match(/^(1-?)?(\([2-9]\d{2}\)|[2-9]\d{2})-?[2-9]\d{2}-?\d{4}$/);
}, "Please specify a valid phone number");

And here's a working live demo.
