Overriding jQuery validation highlight / unhighlight methods
===

apologies if this has been answered before, I couldn't dig anything up when searching.

I am overriding jQuery validator's highlight & unhighlight methods - but I wish to continue calling the 'stock' version of the methods also.  In C# this would be like calling base.unhighlight, for example.  

As it stands, I am forced to copy & paste code out of the original thus simulating a call to the parent.

    jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
        unhighlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
            // base.unhighlight(element, errorClass, validClass) // <-- desired functionality
        ...

How would I go about doing this?  Thanks a lot--
