I'm using jQuery.validity to validate PHP form inputs. I need to skip validation when user clicked selected input button (eg: Logout button)

Sample code used for validation:

$("form").validity(function() {
    $("#DateInput") 
        .require()
        .match("date");
});

I posted this question in Validity official site, issues section. This is the answer given

In general, validation is bound to a form rather than a submit button. If your logout button is in a form you don't want to validate, just don't call validity on that form. e.g. $("#formWithInputs").validity(...)

So managed to make it work by locating input controls in different forms
