Hi I´m new here and this is my question:

 

is there any way I can validate a form using jquery validate but not using an input type=submit???

I want to validate my form just using an input type="button"

 

To give you all guys a general idea about what I want to do this is the thing:

 

I have a form and I have an input type="submit" and this of course sends the action which is declared on form action="myAction" but I also want to use an input type="button" which will send another action but before that I want to validate as it were a submit type....

 

please I was looking up on the web but I didnt find anything about it......really appreciate your help
