how to define rules for some element with name like user[id] in query validation

i one working on rails and rails follows some naming convention of input elements, i am not able to validate my form using query validation.

my form is like this

<form method="post">
<input id="user_id" name="user[id]" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value ="login" />
</form>

var myrules = {
user[id] : {
required : true
}
};

its not working this way :(

how can i define rule for input for name 'user[id]', as jquery create some variable based on the name of the elements, what should be the name of variable which jquery validator will create for this element

You need to wrap the name of the input (in this case user[id]) in quotes 

var myrules = {
"user\[id\]" : {
required : true
}
};

you missed quotes

Try this

rules : {
"user\[id\]" : {
required : true
}
};
