[jQuery] Validate Not Working in MVC (Validate)


I have an MVC application and I am trying to do some validation but
the Validate doesn't seem to fire. I can get it working in a basic
html page but for some reason it is not working in my aspx page and I
am not sure why. I have all the js files included that I need and the
CSS classes defined exactly as they are in the basic example in the
jQuery documentation. Here is my code:
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
//alert();
$("#main").validate({
rules: {
// simple rule, converted to {required:true}
ssn: {
required: true
}
}
});
});
</script>
<input id="ssn" class="required" name="ssn" />
