jquery validate - multiple forms and email validation

I have on my page two form tags - one of them is within a bootstrap modal. I want to validate them independantly of each other.

The first form frmPO works fine. The second form frmEmail (click on the Print/Email Purchase Order button) - when i check if it's valid, it always returns true. I want Email From and Email To to be both required and email: true.

I've shortened my page down here best I could to show the issue JSFiddle

HTML for frmPOPrint

    <form id="frmEmail" action="" method="post">
    <div class="modal fade printModal" id="printPOModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="printPOModal" aria-hidden="true">
        <div class="modal-dialog">
            <div class="modal-content">
                <div class="modal-body" id="printModalBody">
                    <iframe id="ifrPrint" src="Default.htm" style="width: 99.6%; height: 85%"></iframe>
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <label for="txtEmailFromPOPrint">Email From:</label>
                            <input class="form-control" type="text" id="txtEmailFromPOPrint" value="[email protected]"/>
                        </div>
                        <div class="col-sm-4">
                            <label for="txtEmailToPOPrint">Email To:</label>
                            <input class="form-control" type="text" id="txtEmailToPOPrint" />
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="modal-footer">
                    <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Cancel</button>
                    <button id="btnEmail" type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Email</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

JS

jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
    debug: true,
    success: "valid"
});

$("#frmEmail").validate({
    rules: {
        txtEmailFromPOPrint: {
            required: true,
            email: true
        },
        txtEmailToPOPrint: {
            required: true,
            email: true
        }
    }
});

$('#btnEmail').click(function () {

    if ($("#frmEmail").valid()) {
        alert("valid!");
    }
});

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's because your input elements have no name attributes. The rules declared inside the rules object within the .validate() method can only be assigned to the inputs' name attributes.

<input type="text" id="txtEmailFromPOPrint" name="txtEmailFromPOPrint" ... />
<input type="text" id="txtEmailToPOPrint" name="txtEmailToPOPrint" ... />

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/pb52uc0h/2/

$("#frmEmail").validate({
    rules: {
        txtEmailFromPOPrint: { // <- NAME attribute
            required: true,
            email: true
        },
        txtEmailToPOPrint: { // <- NAME attribute
            required: true,
            email: true
        } ....
