jQuery.validate plugin and ajax form submission

Question

I cannot for the life of me get this to work. The validation errors appear fine, I don\'t get syntax errors but nothing happens. The form just submits to the page. I can\'t

Take your submitHandler out of your rules :-)

$("#contact").validate({
                        rules: {
                        name: {required: true},
                        email: {required: true},
                        subject: {requred: true}
                        },
                        submitHandler: function() {
                            $.ajax({
                                type: "POST",
                                url: "/contact/process.php",
                                data: formSerialize,
                                timeout: 3000,
                                success: function() {alert('works');},
                                error: function() {alert('failed');}
                            });

                            return false;
                        }
                    });
