I am working with JQuery Validation plugin and am having trouble validating the form.
The following is a live version of my form: http://demcode.3eeweb.com/

The following is the code for my index.php file:

            <input type="submit" name="signUpSub" id="signUpSub" value="Sign Up">
        </form>

</body>
</html>

The following is the code for my validate.php file:

<?php
$db = new PDO('mysql:host=mysql.2freehosting.com;dbname=...', '...', '...');
$db->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, false);
$emailInput = $_POST['signUpEmailName'];
if ($emailInput!="") {
    $result = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM People WHERE email=?');
    $result->execute(array($emailInput));
}
echo (count($result->fetchAll()) != 0);
?>

The submit button works regardless of whether the data entered in the form is valid or not. The validation is not executing at all. More over, the validation for whether the email exists in the DB or not isn't working either.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you read jquery validate() docs properly?

Hi I have used a simular script recently and the form input requires required
ie input class="url input-wide" id="url" type="text" name = "url" value="<?php echo $url ?>" required />
this just a sample that worked for me
Also it would help if your link for the demo worked and ppeople could see what was going on.

Hope it helps

<script>
    $.validator.setDefaults({
        submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); }
    });

        // validate customised_partners form on keyup and submit
        $("#customised_partners").validate({
            rules: {
                centre_no: "required",
                partner_name: "required",
                url:  {
                    required: true,
                    minlength: 2
                },


                messages: {
                    centre_no: "Please enter centre no",
                    partner_name: "Please enter partner name",
                    url: {
                        required: "Please enter a valid web address",
                        minlength: "Your web address must consist of at least 2 characters"
                    },

                }
            });

    });
</script>
