Issues With Jquery Form Validations

I am trying to do form validation using Jquery, unfortunately neither I am not able to display the null field empty message nor I am not able to prevent user from leaving fields blank.

I am using the following query for validations

 $("#frm").validate( {  
                    rules : {  
                        empName : "required"  
                    }  
                });

I have put a demo here using JSFiddle

Any help is highly appreciable

You can also use the anchor but then you have to submit the form manually (fiddle). You also shouldn't initialize the validation on a click event. Initialize it on load and then just submit the form to trigger validation.

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#frm").validate( {  
        ignore: '*:not([name])', //Fixes your name issue
        rules : {  
            empName : "required"  
        },
        messages: {
            empName: {
                required: "Please enter name"
            }
        }  
    });  

    $("#saveB").click(function(){
        $("#frm").submit();    
    });   
});

Or you can also use valid without submit the form (fiddle):

  $("#saveB").click(function(){
        $("#frm").valid();
  });

It's your anchor causing the problem - namely it's href attribute. My advice would be to use an alternative validation trigger, such as an input like <button>.
