I use the jquery validation plugin that I found here

My problem is, in the form, if I change the submit button from

<input type="submit" value="Add" class="add" id="addbutton">

to

<input type="button" value="Add" class="add" id="addbutton">

the form will not validate or work.

I'd like to use button instead of submit, because if a user has javascript turned off, the form will not submit at all. It'll simply sit there doing nothing.

Any idea how to solve this and make it work when type="button"
