title: Overriding jQuery validation highlight / unhighlight methods
body: <p>apologies if this has been answered before, I couldn't dig anything up when searching.</p>
  
  <p>I am overriding jQuery validator's highlight &amp; unhighlight methods - but I wish to continue calling the 'stock' version of the methods also.  In C# this would be like calling base.unhighlight, for example.  </p>
  
  <p>As it stands, I am forced to copy &amp; paste code out of the original thus simulating a call to the parent.</p>
  
  <pre><code>jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
      unhighlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
          // base.unhighlight(element, errorClass, validClass) // &lt;-- desired functionality
      ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I go about doing this?  Thanks a lot--</p>
