I invoked valid but ,it always warning the object form don’t support this methord “validate()”

$(document).ready(function () {

        $("#myform").validate();
        $("test").click(function() {
          alert("Valid: " + $("#myform").valid());
          return false;
        });
  });

I have import js like this:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/lib/jquery.delegate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script>

or these:

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

You’re looking for the valid method.
