[jQuery] [validate] Get form validation state without triggering errors


I'm trying to check if a form has been filled out properly before
enabling the "Next" button. Unfotunately, when I call the method
jQuery("#myForm").valid() the error messages are all triggered.
I want the error message in there because I want the user to be able
click the disabled next button and see what the specific problems are,
but I want the next button to be a visible indicator of when the form
is ready to go.
Is it possible to silently get the validation state of the form?
