I was successful in adding validate to my contact form, but then when I added the submitHandler option it stopped working completely. I want to handle the submit myself and then post a thank you message on the bottom of the form - that code works fine when it is by itself, but not with the submitHandler. In fact, I can't get a submitHandler function to do ANYTHING, including a simple alert. Code is below - any help would be much appreciated!

$(document).ready(function(){
$("#contactForm").validate({
submitHandler: function(form) {
var postData = $('#contactForm').serialize();
$.post('sendtome.php',postData);
$('#thanks').append("Thanks! I'll be in touch within 24 hours");
};
});
});
