jQueryFormValidationPost2.2

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#userForm").validate({

//rules basically define rules on your input fields.You can put different rules based on your requirement and availability(which you can check in jQuery validation documentation).

rules:{
userName:"required",
password:"required",
confirmPassword:"required",
dateOfBirth:"required",
gender:"required"
},

//messages are map to inputs and will be present if user violates any of the rule.

messages:{
userName : "UserName is a required field.",
password : "Password is a required field.",
confirmPassword : "Please enter same as confirmPassword.",
dateOfBirth : "Date of Birth is a required field.",
gender : "Gender is a required field."
},

//submitHandler handles task which we can perform after successful validation.
Like below after successful validation I'm adding action attribute to my form and submitting it.

submitHandler:function(){
$('#userForm').attr( { action: $('#actionMainURL').val() } );
$('#userForm').submit();
}
});

});
