Validate not actually validating...

Validate not actually validating...

I have a simple form, a few hidden fields, a few text imputs and two buttons.

I try the following to validate the form.

   $(document).ready(function(){
       $("#registrationForm").validate({
           rules: {
                   student_email: {
                           required:true,
                           email:true
                   },
                   manager_email: "required"
           },
           messages: {
                    student_email: "Please enter a valid email address.",
                   manager_email: "Please enter a valid email address."
           }
       });
   });

There is no results if I leave a required field blank or if I malform the email address. I can add the following and get expected results:

submitHandler: function() { alert("submitted!"); }

My form is as follows:

<form name="registrationForm" id="registrationForm" action="#application.base_url#course_register_receipt_ilt.cfm" method="post">
    <input type="hidden" name="course_id" id="course_id" value="#url.course_id#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="session_id" id="session_id" value="#url.session_id#" />
    <input type="hidden" name="waitlist" id="waitlist" value="#url.waitlist#" />

    <span class="g_h3">1. Enter Your Email</span><br />
         <input type="text" name="student_email" id="student_email" class="ilt_input_field" size="30" value="#variables.objStudentInfo.StudentEmail#" />
    <br /><br />

    <span class="g_h3">2. Enter Your Manager's Name</span><br />
         <input type="text" name="manager_name" id="manager_name" class="ilt_input_field" size="30" value="#variables.objStudentInfo.ManagerName#" />
    <br /><br />

    <span class="g_h3">3. Enter Your Manager's Email</span><br />
         <input type="text" name="manager_email" id="manager_email" class="ilt_input_field" size="30" value="#variables.objStudentInfo.ManagerEmail#" />
    <br /><br />

    <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)"><img src="images/site_layout/ilt/cancel_btn.jpg" border="0"></a>
     
    <cfif url.waitlist eq 1>
    <input type="image" src="images/site_layout/ilt/waitlist_btn.jpg">
    <cfelse>
    <input type="image" src="images/site_layout/ilt/register_btn.jpg">
    </cfif>
</form>

So, my question is, does anybody see any problems with this code?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
