title: POST not sent after jQuery form validation
body: <p>My form is defined within a Bootstrap modal and looks something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form class="contact" name="contact" id="contact-form"&gt;
      &lt;label class="modalLabel" for="name"&gt;Name&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;input type="text" name="name" class="input-xlarge" minlength="2" required&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;label class="modalLabell" for="email"&gt;E-mail Adresse&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;input type="email" name="email" class="input-xlarge" required&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;label class="modalLabel" for="message"&gt;Any message?&lt;/label&gt;&lt;br&gt;
      &lt;textarea name="message" class="input-xlarge"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;
      &lt;div&gt;
      &lt;input class="btn btn-success" type="submit" value="Absenden" id="submit"&gt;
      &lt;a href="#" class="btn btn-warning" data-dismiss="modal"&gt;Doch nicht&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The jQuery for AJAX and validation:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$("#contact-form").validate({
          submitHandler: function(form) {
              $(form.contact).ajax({
                          type: "POST",
                          url: "process.php", //process to mail
                          data: $('form.contact').serialize(),
                          success: function(msg){
                              $("#thanks").html(msg) //hide button and show thank you
                              $("#form-content").modal('hide'); //hide popup  
                          },
                          error: function(){
                              alert("Bitte versuchen Sie es nochmal.");
                          }
              });
          }
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I got the AJAX working without the validation by putting the <code>$.ajax</code> call in a <code>click()</code> function. After I added the validation with the jQuery plugin, the POST doesn't work anymore. It seems like a GET is done at the moment and I don't know how to get this working.</p>
