<input name="o_phone_cnt" class="inputtextie required digits" title="Country Code" style="width:25px" type="text" minlength="1" size="3" maxlength="3"/>

on button click

$('#sendmail_ppnt').button().click(function(){
      $('#participantform').submit();
});

at the validation time it showing error message as required, but after adding the title to the input:text element it is showing Country Code as error message.

You can pass the ignoreTitle option to validate():

$("#participantform").validate({
    ignoreTitle: true
});

In passing, note that the documentation says (emphasis mine):

Set to skip reading messages from the title attribute, helps to avoid issues with Google Toolbar; default is false for compatibility, the message-from-title is likely to be completely removed in a future release.

So, chances are you won't have to anything to obtain the behavior that you want with future releases of the plugin.
