[jQuery] [validate] Triggering Validation using a button instead of submit

[Justin Kozuch]

Hi There,

I've been using the validation plug in for a while now and I love it,
but I am stuck on something.

I am trying to validate a form using:

<input type="button" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
instead of the usual:

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

I tried using:

var validator = $("#sourcing").validate();
$("#submit").click(function() {
        validator.form();
});

to do the validation but that doesn't do anything at all. Has anyone
been able to figure this out?

Thanks,

Justin
