title: jQuery validate defaults
body: <p>I'm trying to set some custom defaults for the jQuery validation plugin.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.validate.settings.ignore = ":hidden";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.validate.settings.errorPlacement = function (error, element) {
      if (element.hasClass("removedTitle"))
          error.insertAfter(element.next("img"));
      else
          error.insertAfter(element);
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, neither of these seem to make any difference. Is there a way to achieve this?</p>
