[jQuery] IE and Validate

[jQuery] IE and Validate

<div dir="ltr">Wondering if someone can help track an issue. I'm using validate 1.1 with JQuery 1.2.3 (can't upgrade at this time). I have a simple login form, and trying to validate that the fields aren't empty prior to submit. Working great in Firefox, but IE doing nothing, and not throwing an error:
$('#loginForm').submit(function(){
            var errContainer = $('#msgContainer');
            var v = $(this).validate({
                errorContainer: errContainer,
                errorLabelContainer: $("ul",errContainer),
                rules: {
                    username: "required",
                    password: "required"
                },
                messages: {
                    username: 'You must enter a Username',
                    password: 'You must enter a Password'
                },
                wrapper: 'li'
            });
           
            if(v.form()){
                return true;
            }
            else{
                return false;
            }
        });
Anyone have any ideas?<br clear="all">
