validating the form with same input field names?

validating the form with same input field names?

I have below jquery code to validate the form.
function validateForm(){
$("input.field1").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
messages: {
required: "Required"
}
} );
});
$("input.fieldTwo").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required: true,
maxlength: 12,
email: true
messages: {
required: "Enter email",
email: "Enter valid email",
maxlength: "Maximum 12 characters"
}
} );
});
$("input.field3").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required: false,
maxlength: 12
messages: {
maxlength: "Maximum 12 characters"
}
} );
});
$("input.field4").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required: false,
maxlength: 12
messages: {
maxlength: "Maximum 12 characters"
}
} );
});
$("input.field5").each(function(){
$(this).rules("add", {
required: false,
maxlength: 12
messages: {
maxlength: "Maximum 12 characters"
}
} );
});
return $("#myForm").validate({
onfocusout: function(element) { jQuery(element).valid(); }
});
}
But it always gives script error saying SyntaxError: missing } after
property list.
But i believe no where } is required.
Am i missing anything here?
Thanks!
