title: Does the Jquery validation plugin require a form tag?
body: <p>I want to validate some asp.net textboxes with the jQuery Validation plugin found at 
  <a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation" rel="noreferrer">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation</a>, but it appears that the elements must be between a form tag.  If I have just a couple elements, I would hardly call that a form, so I would rather not have them wrapped inside a form element.  Is there a way around this?  Also,  if I have two buttons on the form, a cancel and a submit button and I want the form only to validate when the submit button is clicked, but not the cancel button, how is this accomplished?</p>
