JQuery validation additional methods - Can't get creditcardtypes to validate numbers
Title says it all. The regular creditcard:true method works fine but we don't process all the cards it checks, so I need to be able to restrict to Visa, MC, Amex and Discover - so I turned to the creditcardtypes method in the additionalMethods file and edited it to only check for those 4 cards.
But, it isn't validating anything - at least in the way I've edited it. I know I'm doing something wrong but can't see what it is. I've created a test page with the issue and have attached it here.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're right - I don't want to rely on Javascript solely for validity. In fact, that was one of my issues with the built in validation method - it only seems to check length - in addition to passing a lot of cards that we don't take. I always use javascript for a quick check of each field before handing off to the server side code for a more extensive check using the plugin's remote method.
In this instance, I ended up bypassing the javascript check for this altogether and wrote my own server side check using regexes I found to check the card numbers and ranges I wanted. It only checks length at the moment but will incorporate a luhn checker before the form is rolled out - I've just started looking for a library to use for that.
That said, I always rely on our Gateway provider for the final filter of everything. I'm just trying to get everything as correct as possible before I send to the gateway.
