How can I stop Jquery Validator validating each field automatically?

I only want to validate the elements on a for开发者_运维问答m when I save the form. So I call this directly. Is there a way I can stop the validator validating each filed as its changed.

Thanks Scott

If you are using this validation plugin, then this should do the trick:

$(".selector").validate({
   onfocusout: false
});

This tells the valididation plugin to not validate on focusout. There are a bunch of options that you can pass to the plugin to get it to behave differently.
