[jQuery] [valitation] email field triggers validation on lost focus

[mag]

I have a form with a few required fields using the jquery Validation
plugin to validate the input values before the form is submitted. All
fields except the email field works properly, but if the value of the
email-field isnt a valid email address the error message is displayed
when the user proceeds to the next field. Validate doesnt wait until
the submit button is clicked. If the email-field is left empty the
validation doesnt happen until the submit button is clicked.

<input class="email required" /> triggers validation on lost focus if !
= "" and invalid
<input class="required" /> works as expected




    $().ready(function() {

        var validator = $("#subscribe_form").validate({
        errorContainer: $("subscribe_errorContainer"),
        errorLabelContainer: $("ul", container),
        wrapper: 'li',
        meta: "validate",

        submitHandler: function(form) {
                * updating a few fields *
                form.submit();
                }
        });

    });
