Answer 1

try this focusout()

function resetMyForm() {

    $('#registerForm').resetForm();
    v.prepareForm();  // Tried adding this, no help
    v.hideErrors();  // Tried adding this, no help
    $("ElementName").focusout(); // focus out  which ever element you want

}

Answer 2

You need to reset the form and run the Validation plugin method resetForm like this:

var v = $("form").validate({
    submitHandler: function(form) {
            //resetForm is a method on the validation object, not the form
            v.resetForm(); 
            form.reset();
    }
});

That seemed to take care of any issues I saw while following your workflow. See this: http://jsfiddle.net/nxXNz/27/
