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 property. Assign a function to this property. 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 property.
