I have a simple form that needs validating. I've got it working in FF, but it behaves strangely in IE. I'm using jQuery 1.6 and jQuery Validate 1.8.
Below is the full html code. As you can see I've tried changing the charset attribute, since I read some people had success doing this for IE. Still no luck. The weird thing is that when you run this in IE, the submitHandler gets fired off (the alert gets shown saying the form was 'submitted'). It's as if the validate function never fires off at all, even when the entire form is left blank. Can someone please try this or suggest a solution?
