submit button issue with jquery and php

The problem:

when the input type on my submit button is changed to 'button' it does NOT save info to mysql but validation works. If i change it to input type on submit button to 'submit' it saves info to mysql but the validation does not work. Is there a resolution to this?

jquery validation - function on click:

 $("input:button").click(function(){         
               var retVal = false;
               $.each([1, 2], function(i, val){
                  retVal = (validate(val) || retVal);
               });
                return retVal;

On my form the submit button code is:

<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

The form action is:

   <form name="list1"; action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" >

I think the right way to do this is to the leave the button as <input type='submit' /> and use $('form').submit(...) to return true/false based on the validation.

Write $("input:submit") instead $("input:button") in your jQuery code
