jQuery validate - how do I ignore letter case?

Probably a goofy question, but I can't seem to find anything in google land. I simply need one of my methods to ignore the case of the entered field. I am doing a city name match, but need both "Atlanta" and "atlanta" to be valid. How should I edit this to get the validation love that I need?

    jQuery.validator.addMethod("atlanta", function(value) {
    return value == "Atlanta"; //Need 'atlanta' to work too
}, '**Recipient must reside in Chicago City Limits**');

Pre thanks to any and all :)

return value.toLowerCase() == "atlanta";
or use
return value.toLowerCase() == "Atlanta".toLowerCase();

return (value ? value.match(/atlanta/i) : null) != null

This is case insensitive and you can do lots of fun stuff with the regex. Enjoy. And please don't do "Cosntant".toLowerCase() there is just too much wrong in that.
