[jQuery] [validate] Problem with trigger submit in validation plugin update 1.5.1

[viktorlidh...@gmail.com]

Thanks for a great plugin! Unfortunately I got a problem with the
latest version (and jquery 1.3).

I need to submit forms through links instead of input buttons. I’ve
used the following code to do this:

$(”form a.form_submit”).click(function() {
  $(this).parents().filter(”form”).trigger(”submit”);
  return false;
});

This used to work perfectly together with the validation plugin, but
is broken since the update (the form isn’t submitted). Any ideas for a
workaround, or will I need to downgrade jquery?

Thanks,

Viktor
