It's my understanding that the validation plug-in listens for a form
to be submitted before performing its checks. If this isn't the case
then this won't work, but, in your sample code you've used:
validator.triggerHandler('submit');
which will need to be changed to:
$('#formid').triggerHandler('submit');
Validator is the validate function itself and as far as i know does
not support a triggerHandler method, or a 'submit' event. So this
rules needs to be applied to the form element itself.
JQuery has a nack for failing silently - good for production; bad for
development!
Friday has a nack for being lame - good for.. well.. nothing!
