title: JQuery validate on select
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://jqueryvalidation.org/" rel="nofollow">JQuery validate plugin</a> to validate fields in my form which contains a drop down list and other text fields but I can't figure our how to check if the selected item value in the drop down list is > 0 so I was wondering if anyone has an idea how I can check on the selected item value using JQuery validate plugin?</p>
  
  <p>Currently I am using this code to make sure that the drop down list field is required, but not sure how to add the validate selected value code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$( "#contactusform" ).validate({
    rules: {
      country: {
        required: true
      }
    }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>HTML select:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select id="country"&gt;
    &lt;option value="0"&gt;-Select Country-&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="1"&gt;United States&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="2"&gt;China&lt;/option&gt;
    &lt;option value="3"&gt;France&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to make sure the visitor select any country but not the "-Select Country-" which have value = 0</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time</p>
