Hello!

I'm new to JavaScript and JQuery.
Have earlier worked with ASP.NET.
I have this html input
<input type="text"  name="depthBow" id="txtDepthBow" size="20"  />

I have written this addMethod that should validate the format but I have two 
questions.
1. Where should this be put.
2.When will this be called

As I said this is new to me.

  $.validator.addMethod('txtDepthBow', function (value)
            {
                return /^(\d{1,2}(\.d{1,2})?)$/.test(value);
            }, 'Wrong input.');

//Tony
