Jquery Validate Plugin: A confirm alert on submit

Jquery Validate Plugin: A confirm alert on submit

Hello,
 
I am using the validate plugin to perform validations on a form.
I would like to show a confirm message ( alert with ok and cancel ) upon submit and successful vaildation.
 
I have tried the following but it does not work:
 
$("#myForm").validate({
        rules: {
            ----
            ---
      },
      showErrors: function(errorMap, errorList) {
                var errors = this.numberOfInvalids();
                if (errors){
                        var message = errors == 1
                                ? 'You missed 1 field. It has been highlighted below.'
                                : 'You missed ' + errors + ' fields.  They have been highlighted below.';
                        }
                        if( $("#error").is(':hidden') ){
                          $("#error").show();
                        }
                        $("#error").html(message);
                }else {
                        $("#error").hide();











                        answer = confirm("Are you sure you want to submit?");
                        //alert(answer);
                            if (answer == true){
                            return true;
                            }
                            else{
                            //alert("In FALSE");
                            return false;
                            }







                        
                }
                this.defaultShowErrors();
        }

});
 
 
The form submits even If I click "Cancel". Is there anything wrong with my code above?
Appreciate any suggestions/help.
 
Thanks.
