How do I remove jQuery validation from a form?

Question

I\'m using the jQuery validation plugin to validate a form, and I\'d like to remove the validation and submit the form if a certain link is clicked.

I am submitting

You can remove events of nodes with unbind:

jQuery('form#listing').unbind('submit'); // remove all submit handlers of the form

What you are probably looking for is that the validation plugin can also unassign itself from the submit event:

jQuery('form#listing').validate({
   onsubmit : false
});

For both of these you should be able to follow up with a call to .submit() to submit the form:

jQuery('form#listing').unbind('submit').submit();
