I have a simple html form that I've added validation to using the JQuery Validation plugin. I have it working for single fields that require a value. I now need to extend that so that if a user answers Yes to a question they must enter something in the Details field, otherwise the Details field can be left blank. I'm using radio buttons to display the Yes/No. Here's my complete html form - I'm not sure where to go from here:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$.metadata.setType("attr", "validate");
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#editRecord").validate();
});
</script>
<style type="text/css">
.block { display: block; }
form.cmxform label.error { display: none; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1>
Questions</h1>
</div>
<div id="
content">
<h1>

</h1>
</div>
<div id="

<form class="cmxform" method="post" action="editrecord.php" id="editRecord">
<input type="hidden" name="-action" value="edit">

<table width="46%" class="record">

<td width="21%" valign="top" class="field_name_left"><p>Question 1</p></td>
<td width="15%" valign="top" class="field_data">

</td>
<td width="64%" valign="top" class="field_data"><strong>Details:</strong>
<textarea id = "Details1" class="where" name="Details1" cols="25" rows="2"></textarea></td>
