I am using form validation plugin as well as html5 attribute=recquired with input type=button or submit and fancybox.when button is clicked ,both validation proceedures work(notification of empty inputs appeare),but instead of this notification ,form is submitted.

If I dont use button.click function but use simple submit.then validation works perfectly

plugin==http://validatious.org/

javascript function

   $(document).ready(function() {

    $('#send').click(function() {

    $(this).attr("value", 'Applying...');


    var id = getParam('ID');
    $.ajax({
        type:'POST',
        url:"send.php",



        data:{option:'catapply', tittle:$('#tittle').val(), aud:aud, con:con, adv:adv, mid:$('#mid').val(), aud2:aud, cid:$('#cid').val(), scid:$('#scname option[selected="saa"]').val(), gtt:$('input[name=gt]:radio:checked').val(), sr:$(":input").serialize() + '&aud=' + aud},

        success:function(jd) {
            $('#' + id).fadeOut("fast", function() {
                $(this).before("<strong>Success! Your form has been submitted, thanks :)</strong>");
                setTimeout("$.fancybox.close()", 1000);
            });
        }
    });
  });
 });

AND Html is here

<form id="form2" class="validate" style="display: none" >

        <input  type='submit'  value='Apply' id="send" class="sendaf validate_any" name="jobforming"/>
