My input fields disappear!

My input fields disappear!

I have the following form:

  7 <form method="post" action="/register">

  8     <input type="email" name="EMA" required>

  9     <button type="submit"</button>

 10 </form>


which I validate like this:

281     pricing.find('.SignUp form')

282         .ajaxForm(payment)

283         .validate({});


but when I enter "x" (invalid) into the e-mail field the system displays "Please enter a valid e-mail address" and destroys my input field (I'm no longer able to enter information because the field is no longer there - it's been replaced with the error message).  I've researched this but can find no answer.

I've installed the package using bower:

├─┬ jquery-validation#1.15.1


help?
