jQuery password strength plugin: Retrieving password's strength

I'm working on a legacy groovy project that uses jQuery's password strength validator plugin. It works great. However, a new requirement arrived today, indicating that the form should not be submited if the strength of the password is below good (this is an arbitrary value)

Is there any way to achieve this? Possibly via javascript? Ajax solutions are welcome to.

Thanks in advance.

Something like this may work:

$('#myform').submit(function(e) {
    if ($(this).find('.password_strength_1').size() != 0) {
        e.preventDefault();
        alert('Your password is too weak!');
    }
});

I see two ways of doing it:

  1. Check class of warning, it is something like ".password_strength_1", so strength is in its name.

  2. Just edit plugin :) It won't hurt.
