javascript - valid() method of jquery validator is always returning true -

i using jquery validator, input field left blank , showing value empty, jquery valid() method returning true. there several tabs inside form, , each click of next next tab shown , previous hidden. cant validate form @ once validation rule given as:

$('#wizard_example_1').validate({     rules: {         link_client_name: {             required: true         },         link_page_url: {             required: true,             url: true         },         link_title: {             required: true         },         link_message: {             required: true         },         link_text: {             required: true         },         link_url: {             required: true,             url: true         }     } }); 

and jquery code check elements specificaly if valid or not as

$('.next-btn').on('click', function (e) {     e.preventdefault();      count++;      if (obj['camp_type'] === "1") {          var valid = false;          $.each($('#link input'), function (i, v) {              var id=$(this).attr('name');              valid=$('input[name="' + $(this).attr('name') + '"]').valid();          });          if(valid) {              obj = {};              obj['camp_type'] = "1";              obj['client_name'] = $('#link_client_name').val();              obj['page_url'] = $('#link_page_url').val();              obj['title'] = $('#link_title').val();              obj['message'] = $('#link_message').val();              obj['action_text'] = $('#link_text').val();              obj['action_url'] = $('#link_action_url').val();              console.log(obj);          }else{              return false;          }      } }); 

try implement method.

var $validateform = $('#wizard_example_1').validate({      rules: {          link_client_name: {              required: true          },          link_page_url: {              required: true,              url: true          },          link_title: {              required: true          },          link_message: {              required: true          },          link_text: {              required: true          },          link_url: {              required: true,              url: true          }      }  });     $('.next-btn').off();    $(document).on('click', '.next-btn', function () {                      if ($validateform.form()) {                        // logic   }                  });
