Answer 1

Your script order is reversed, include juery before any plugins, like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.7/jquery.validate.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 

Also since I don't see any conflicts, I'd go ahead and move to jQuery 1.4 to get the latest benefits.

I failed inside the rule..This works ok:

<script type="text/javascript">

$.validator.setDefaults({

    submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); }

});



$().ready(function() {


    // validate signup form on keyup and submit

    $("#jander").validate({

        rules: {

            'sfApplyApply[email]': {

                required: true,

                email: true

            }

        },

        messages: {

            'sfApplyApply[email]': "Please enter an email",



        }

    });





});

</script>
