jquery dialog validate

    Attaching the validator to the form:

    $('#your-form-id').validate();

    When the Save button of your modal form is clicked, submit the form (the validator will be triggered):

    buttons: {
      "Save": function() {
        $('#your-form-id').submit();
      },

    Move the submit logic to the validator submitHandler:

    $('#your-form-id').validate({
      submitHandler: function(form) {
        // do stuff
      }
    });
