jquery validator not accepting any input for my name field. WHY?

See code below... jquery validator seems to be rejecting any input entered in the name field. it asks to match the specified format. Is there a default format or something? I am stumped!!!

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#signupform").validator();
    });
</script>


<body>

<form id="signupform">
    <fieldset>

    <p><input type="text" name="name" value="Name*" minlength="1" maxlength="40" pattern="[A-Za-z]" required /></p>
    <p><input type="email" name="email" value="Email*" required /></p>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
    <button type="reset">Reset</button>
    </fieldset>
</form>

</body>
</html>

The pattern [A-Za-z] matches a single character, thus if you type more than one, you'll get a validation error. Use [A-Za-z]+ instead, which means one or more characters in the range A-Z or a-z.

Also, this pattern won't match the initial value Name* due to the asterisk.
