I have a dynamic form that i built all controls dynamically using javascript when i click on Submit() button i call 

$('form').validate(); which i expect to stop form submission before executing the following lines.

but the actual behavior is it executes the validate() line and continues to the remaining lines of submit method.

i have included jquery.validate.js and the jquery 1.9.js and the screen.css in my page.

Also, i have added required attribute to my input control and i see it in the IE dev tool.

function btnSubmit_onlClick()

{

$('form').validate();

// code to submit data....

}
