jquery validation, element name in array format couldn't be set in rules

I have an element like

<input type="text" id="no_of_days" name="admin_setting[no_of_days]" class="txtbox" maxlength="50" />

when I validate like,

jQuery("form").validate({

     rules :{   
        admin_setting[no_of_days] : "required"
      },
      messages :{

        admin_setting[no_of_days] : "Please enter the No of Days"

      }

   });

It throws the error. Please provide me the way to add the rules inside the validate() function for the element which has the name in array form like "admin_setting[no_of_days]".

I don't want to use .rules() function, as more number of fields to be added in validate() function, instead of calling rules() function for every element.

You need to quote the key, as it's a non-standard key name (i.e. it contains [...]):

jQuery("form").validate({

     rules :{   
        'admin_setting[no_of_days]' : "required"
      },
      messages :{

        'admin_setting[no_of_days]' : "Please enter the No of Days"

      }

   });
