how validate fields using jquery validation plugin

i am newbie in jquery. i searched in google and i got Validation Plugin. but it's not working. i have attached jquery.validate.js in my header part.

my code looks like...

  <form action="" method="" id="contact">
            <div class="form-group"">
                <label> Your Name </label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Your Name" id="firstname" required="" minlength="5"/>
            </div>

            <div class="form-group">
                <label> Your E-mail </label>
                <input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Your Email" id="email"/>
            </div>
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg"> Send</button>
 </form>

  <script type="text/javascript"> 
    $('#contact').validate({
     success: function(label){
    label.addClass("has-success").text("ok");
    }
  });
</script>

but it's not validating my field... Can anyone say how to use it? i know i am doing something wrong here but i am newbie so...

Try using document ready instruction:

$(function(){
   $('#contact').validate();
});

it works: http://jsfiddle.net/RQMaV/15/

The submit button is essencial since it fires the validate function:

$("#myform").validate({
  submitHandler: function(form) { // this line is important
    form.submit(); // with this line the validate function gets fired
  }
 });

perhaps you should also try following:

– make sure your jquery library is correctly embedded in your document

– make sure your validation.js is in the correct folder

Did you include jquery-plugin validation.js file in your project directory?? If no then you need to include http://www.websitecodetutorials.com/code/jquery-plugins/validation.js
