I am trying to make my jQuery form validator work. I spent already 5 hours making it work, researching and stuff, but until now I can’t.

My code is as follows:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Insert title here</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.4/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/validationEngine.jquery.css" type="text/css"/>
  <script>
        $(document).ready(function(){
            $("#formID").validationEngine();
        });
  </script>

</head>
<body>
    <div id="headerBar" ><h1>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Book of Joy!</h1></div>

            <form  id="formID" method = "post" action = "AddApplicantServlet"> 
                <fieldset>

                            <tr><td> <input type = "submit" value = SUBMIT></td></tr>
                    </table>
                </fieldset>
            </form>
            <hr>
        </div>
    </div>

Why is it not working and how can I solve it?

EDIT: I used chromebug and it cannot find my js… Did I put it on the correct path?

    You forgot to import the plugin’s .js files. As per the plugin documentation you should be adding the following lines as well:

    <script src="js/jquery.validationEngine-en.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script src="js/jquery.validationEngine.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>

    (and make sure that those files are made available by your webapp as well, i.e. they don’t return 404)
