Hi, need a little help with the jQuery validation plugin, I have read throught the docs, and have done similar to what has been asked but my email form does not seem to validate.

 

HTML

<form method="post" id="c_form" action="mail.php">
               <div class="c_table">
               	<div class="row">
                   	<div class="r_rows" id="r_name"><label>Your Name</label></div>
                       <div class="r_rows" id="r_name_box">
                           <input class="c_input required" id="c_name" name="name" type="text"  />
                           <label for="c_name" class="error"></label>
                       </div>
                   </div>
                   <div class="row">
                   	<div class="r_rows" id="r_email"><label>Your Email</label></div>
                       <div class="r_rows" id="r_email_box">
                           <input class="c_input" name="email" id="c_email" type="text" />
                           <label for="c_email" class="error"></label>
                       </div>
                   </div>
                   <div class="m_row">
                   	<div class="r_rows" id="r_message"><label>Your Message</label></div>
                       <div class="r_rows" id="r_messagebox">
                           <textarea id="c_message" name="message"></textarea>
                           <label for="c_message" class="error"></label>
                       </div>
                   </div>
               </div>
               <input type="submit" id="send" name="send" value=""  />
             </form>

 

jQuery

 

$(document).ready(function() {

   $("#c_form").validate({

	   rules:{
		   c_name: "required",
		   c_email: "required"
                          c_message: "required"
	   },

	   messages:{
		    c_name: "Required",
		    c_email: "Required",
                           c_message: "Required"
	   },


 submitHandler: function(form) {
   form.submit();
 }


}); 

});

I believe it targets by name, not ID, so remove the c_ bits and see if that works.

Cheers, for some reason I tried that before, but it wasn't even working then.

I'd also avoid using DIVs inside forms, I've found they can cause issues. You can use fieldsets instead.
