title: JQuery Validation Plugin Doesn't Work With Simple Button
body: <p>I am using JQuery validation plugin to validate forms in my application. It works well when the button is of type 'submit'. However, I have one form in which I need the data to be submitted using JQuery.Ajax, hence I am using simple <code>&lt;input type='button'&gt;</code>. But then the validation wont work.
  Here's the working code-</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
   $(document).ready(function(){
     $("#some_form").validate({});  
   }); 
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  &lt;form name='some_form' id='some_form'&gt;
  &lt;!--  Form Fields --&gt;
  &lt;input type='submit' value='Submit'&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  &lt;/body&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above code works, however, when I put this in the code <code>&lt;input type='button' value='Submit'&gt;</code>, it doesn't work.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody has any idea how to get this working?</p>
