title: Sending additional static parameter with jquery remote validation
body: <p>I want to send an extra parameter to the validation server side script. I have this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#edit_info").validate({
                  debug: false,
                rules: {
                  name: {
                      required: true,
                      //remote: "validate.php",
                      remote: { url:"validate.php", async:false },
                      data: {'cat_id':'34'}
                      /*data: {
                        cat_id: function () { return '34'; }
                      }*/
                  },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But only the name gets sent. Any idea why?
  Thanks!</p>
