JQuery validation of non numeric field

How do I validate a field to have only non numeric characters? I have a field for first name, which can only Use a-z A-Z and allow '-', whitespace between characters. I tried using firstName: { required: true, minlength: 2, maxlength: 32, digits: false },

But the digits rule just doesn't work when it's set to false

You can use jQuery's filter function to filter out all of your inputs with values that don't match any regex. In the example below, I've added a class ('my-error-class') to all of the inputs that didn't match. You could do anything here. Also, I'm no regex pro, so I don't know if the dash inside the brackets needs to be escaped.

$('.some-inputs')
    .filter(function(index) {
        return !this.value.match(/[a-zA-Z\-\s]+/);
    })
    .addClass('my-error-class');

If you want to have the input masked so that they can't enter numbers at all, you can use this jQuery plugin http://hdserv.me/jQuery/Samples/jQuery%20AlphaNumeric.html. Then you can use

$('.sample3').alpha()

You can set the allow property to allow '-'. There are a bunch of examples on the site
