[jQuery] preventing other events from firing in validate plugin (validate)

[mattc]

I need to block other events from firing on a form submission from
within the validate plugin's invalidHandler function. I'd like to call
stopImmediatePropagation on the current event, but I don't know how to
access that event. Here is a sample of the code I have:

$(document).ready(function() {

}

}
  }
}

Sorry for the double submission.
