Fancybox validation

Fancybox validation

Hey!

I'm using the JQuery validation plugin inside a Fancybox window.
My contact form appears in the modal popup when the user clicks a link


(loaded through an external .html file with the form code) , but my problem is that the validation is always skipped and the form is always submitted.
The weirdest thing is it works if I put an "alert('...');" before the validation code

The link:



 ...
<a id="open" href="../Myform.html">myform</a>
...

The Form (in the myform.html file):
...
<form method="POST" id="clickForm" action="../submit.php"><br>
...








The Form .js configuration file:
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#clickForm').validate({
        rules:{...},
        messages:{...},
        submitHandler: function(){
          form.submit();
... and some effects
});


As stated above, it works only if:
$(document).ready(function(){
   alert('...');
     $('#clickForm').validate({
        rules:{...},
        messages:{...},
        submitHandler: function(){
          form.submit();
... and some effects

});
