Jquery validation issue - not working for one particular field

Question

Ive been looking at this for hours and I figure I'll ask here before pulling my hair out. I am doing a form validation. all is well except ONE field: Im sure it is something stupid.

<input name="Credit Card Number" style="width:150px;" title="Credit Card Number" id="billingCC" type="text" class="textboxpg2" maxlength="50" autocomplete="off" onKeyUp="highlightCC(this.value);">

here is the deal. when I just add the required class it works just fine. when I try to add the rule instead, it doesnt find the field invalid. everything else in the form, all other validations, work fine. just this one. I have tried it without the onkeyup javascript to make sure that it wasn't interfering, and its not the issue. please please point out the stupid error i am sure i am making. I am not getting anything in error console, and aside from that the form validates fine. THANKS!

The rule

        billingCC: {
        required:true,
        creditcard:true,
        number: true,           
    },

the message

billingCC: "Invalid credit card number",

The trailing comma in the object literal will stop old versions of Internet Explorer working properly. That probably isn't the issue, but you should remove it anyway. — lonesomeday

The validate plugin uses the name attribute, not the id, so it's not finding it. Try this:

<input name="billingCC" style="width:150px;" title="Credit Card Number" id="billingCC" type="text" class="textboxpg2" maxlength="50" autocomplete="off" onKeyUp="highlightCC(this.value);">
