This project is looking for help! [You can donate to the ongoing pledgie campaign](http://pledgie.com/campaigns/18159)
and help spread the word. If you've used the plugin, or plan to use, consider a donation - any amount will help.
You can find the plan for how to spend the money on the [pledgie page](http://pledgie.com/campaigns/18159).
## Getting Started
Include jQuery and the plugin on a page. Then select a form to validate and call the `validate` method.
```html
<form>
<input required>
</form>
<script src="jquery.js"></script>
<script src="jquery.validation.js"></script>
<script>
$("form").validate();
</script>
```
For more information on how to setup a rules and customizations, [check the documentation](http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Validation).
## Contributing
Follow the [jQuery style guide](http://contribute.jquery.com/style-guides/js), even if existing code doesn't. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using [grunt](https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt/).
If you've wrote custom methods that you'd like to contribute to additional-methods.js, create a branch, add the method there and send a pull request for that branch.
