JQuery validation - using validation on click, not in view

Question

I am using (or trying) jQuery Validation using WebForms / html.

I have, basically (simplification of real html showing only elements):

<input id="txtEmail"/>
<input id="txtTicketID"/>
<a id="create" href="#">Create a new ticket</a>
<a id="find" href="#">Find this ticket</a>

The javascript for validation / action is here:

$(function() {
    $("#aspnetForm").validate({
        rules: {
            txtEmail: {
                required: true,
                email: true
                ,
                messages: {
                    required: "* enter your e-mail",
                    email: "*  invalid e-mail"
                }
            },
            txtTicketID: {
                required: true,
                digits: true,
                messages: {
                    required: "*",
                    digits: "* invalid ticket"
                }
            }
        },
        onfocusout: true,
        onkeyup: true,
        onsubmit: false,
        debug: true
    });

    $("#create").click(function() {
        if ($("#aspnetForm").valid()) {
            var email = $("#txtEmail").val();
            if (email != "")
                window.location = "CreateTicket.aspx?email=" + email;
        }
    });

    $("#find").click(function() {
        if ($("#aspnetForm").valid()) {
            var email = $("#txtEmail").val();
            var ticketID = $("#txtTicketID").val();
            if (email != "" && ticketID != "")
                window.location = "DetailEditTicket.aspx?email=" + email + "&ticketID=" + ticketID;
        }
    });
});

It doesn’t work at all .. a valid () on click links always returns true, even if the fields are empty or incorrect.

When I print something, blur, etc., nothing does the check.

You see what is missing from this?

Answer 1

validate(rules:{})accepts parameters consisting of a template name:{object}, you pass a template id:{object}. Try:

<input id="txtEmail" name="txtEmail"/>
<input id="txtTicketID" name="txtTicketID"/>
<a id="create" href="#">Create a new ticket</a>
<a id="find" href="#">Find this ticket</a>
