i'm trying to validate an html page using jquery, but nothing happens. it's a simple page, yet the textboxes aren't validated.

this is the code:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" /> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/jquery.js/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="~/jquery-validate/jquery.validate.js/"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){
    var validator = $("#submitForm").validate({
            debug: true,
            rules: {
                author: "required",
                quote: "required"
            },
            messages: {
                author: "Name of Author required"
                quote: "Please enter Quote"
            },
            errorPlacement: function(error, element) {
                error.appendTo( element.parent().top() );
            }
      );
  });
  </script>

<body>

<div class="container">
<div class="center_div">
<h2>Submit Your Quote</h2>
<fieldset>
<form id="submitForm" action="qinsert.php" method="post">
<div class="error" style="display:none"></div>
<div class="field">
<label>Author: </label>
<input name="author" type="text" class="required" minLength=3>
<span class="error"></span>
</div><br />
<div class="field">
<label>Quote: </label>
<textarea name="quote" cols=22 class="required" minLength=5></textarea>
<span class="error"></span>
<br />
</div>
<input id="button1" type="submit" value="Submit" class="submit" /><br />
<input id="button2" type="reset" value="Reset" /> 
</form>
</fieldset>
</div>
</div>

what is wrong with the code? thank you!
