Check this:

jQuery.validator.messages.required = "";
$('#frm-contact').validate({
    invalidHandler: function (e, validator) {
        var errors = validator.numberOfInvalids();
        if (errors) {
            var message = errors == 1
                    ? 'You missed 1 field. It has been highlighted below'
                    : 'You missed ' + errors + ' fields.  They have been highlighted below';
            $("div.error span").html(message);
            $("div.error").show();
        } else {
            $("div.error").hide();
        }
    },
    onkeyup: false,
    submitHandler: function () {
        $("div.error").hide();
        alert("submit! use link below to go to the other step");
    },
    highlight: function (element, required) {
        $(element).fadeOut(function () {
            $(element).fadeIn();
            $(element).css('border', '2px solid #FDADAF');
        });
    },
    unhighlight: function (element, errorClass, validClass) {
        $(element).css('border', '1px solid #CCC');
    }
});
