jquery validation not equal
how can I validate two fields must not equal each other with jquery?
I know this code works to validate that they are equal. I want to do the opposite.

Conveniently, change "equalTo" to "notEqualTo"
It is already implemented?

Tried notEqualTo and it did not work.
Also tried to add the method and cannot get that to work either. I have added other methods and they work but cannot see what is wrong with this one.
here is all the code that I am using.

//validation addMethods for my account here
//custom validation rule - text only
$.validator.addMethod("textOnly", function(value, element) {
return !/[0-9]*/.test(value);
}, "Alpha Characters Only.");
$.validator.addMethod("notEqualTo", function(value, element, param) {
return this.optional(element) || value != param;
}, "Please specify a different (non-default) value");
