Jquery validation for confirm password [duplicate]

Question

I am using Jquery for form validation , in that I have password and confirm password fields like this,

<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password" id="password">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="cfmPassword" id="cfmPassword" >

Here other fields are working fine but not confirm password field, The rule for cfmPassword is as follow ,

password: {
    required: true,
    minlength: 6,
    maxlength: 10

},
cfmPassword: {
    required: true,
    equalTo: "#password",
    minlength: 6,
    maxlength: 10
}

but here the problem is if cfmpassword is not same as password also it doesnt show error message. please any one help me in this.
