JavaScript/jQuery Validator - CompareRule
A validation rule that demands that a validated editor has a value that is equal to a specified expression.
To specify the expression that the validated field must match, set the rule's comparisonTarget configuration option. Assign a function to this option. The validated value will be compared to the function's return value. The comparison will be performed by using the operator that is set for the comparisonType option.

, NotEqual
, StrictEqual
, NotStrictEqual
, GreaterThan
, GreaterThanOrEqual
, LessThan

If you assign an empty string to the message field, the message will not be shown.
reevaluate
Indicates whether or not the rule should be always checked for the target value or only when the target value changes.
type
Set this field to "compare" to define a rule that will be broken if the validated value does not equal to the return value of the specified comparisonTarget function.
