[jQuery] Validator plugin class=cancel not working when submit called from script

[Flying Duck]

When the user clicks on an input button where cancel is added to the
class attribute, the form submits as expected, but when the the input
button is submitted by script like this, $(input
[name='Btn_Cancel']).submit(), then the validation fires as if the
class=cancel is not there.

Any idea why the difference in the ways of submitting the form?

I'm using jquery 1.3.2 and jquery.validate 1.6.

Thanks

Try .click() instead of .submit().
