$("#profile_form").validate({
        rules: {
            nickname: "required",address: " (required)"
        },highlight: function(element) {
            $(element).addClass('error');
        },unhighlight: function(element) {
            $(element).removeClass('error');
        }
    });

使用jquery.validate插件中的高亮显示和不高亮度选项可以做到这一点.
