I cannot for the life of me get this to work. The validation errors appear fine, I don't get syntax errors but nothing happens. The form just submits to the page. I can't get the success or error alerts to work either...
<form id="contact" class="validation" method="post" action="">
<fieldset>
<ol class="comment_fields">
<li>
<label for="name">Name: <span>(required)</span></label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="required" minlength="4" tabindex="1" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">E–Mail: <span>(required / private)</span></label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" class="required email" tabindex="2" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="subject">Subject: <span>(required)</span></label>
<input type="text" name="subject" id="subject" class="required" minlength="4" tabindex="3" />
</li>
<li class="comment_area">
<label for="comment">Message: <span>(required)</span></label>
<textarea name="message" id="message" rows="8" cols="8" class="required" minlength="10" tabindex="4"></textarea>
<cite>Please, no XHTML.</cite>
</li>
<li class="submit">
<input type="submit" class="button blue" value="Send Message" id="submit" tabindex="5" />
</li>
</ol>
</fieldset>
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
$("#contact").validate({
rules: {
name: {required: true},
email: {required: true},
subject: {requred: true},
submitHandler: function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php bloginfo("template_directory"); ?>/contact/process.php",
data: formSerialize,
timeout: 3000,
success: function() {alert('works');},
error: function() {alert('failed');}
});
return false;
}
}
});
</script>
This is process.php:
<?php
if ((isset($_POST['name'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['name'])) > 0)) {
$name = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['name']));
} else {$name = 'No name entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['email'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['email'])) > 0)) {
$email = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['email']));
} else {$email = 'No email entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['message'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['message'])) > 0)) {
$message = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['message']));
} else {$message = 'No message entered';}
if ((isset($_POST['subject'])) && (strlen(trim($_POST['subject'])) > 0)) {
$subject = stripslashes(strip_tags($_POST['subject']));
} else {$message = 'No subject entered';}
ob_start();
?>

You have submitHandler within rules, it should be beside it, like this:
$(function() {
$("#contact").validate({
rules: {
name: {required: true},
email: {required: true},
subject: {requred: true}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "<?php bloginfo("template_directory"); ?>/contact/process.php",
data: $(form).serialize(),
timeout: 3000,
success: function() {alert('works');},
error: function() {alert('failed');}
});
return false;
}
});
});
Also note the addition of the document.ready handler to be safe.

Just to help bring this post up-to-date.
Encapsulate with:
$(document).ready(function() { ALL YOUR CODE GOES HERE }
Remove submitHandler from rules:
rules: {
name: {required: true},
email: {required: true},
subject: {requred: true}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {.....
Add cache: false, to help prevent the browser form returning cached content:
request = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
cache: false,
url: "<?php bloginfo("template_directory"); ?>/contact/process.php",
data: $(form).serialize(),
timeout: 3000
});
Use done() and fail() instead of success and error now:
// Called on success.
request.done(function(msg) {
alert('works');
});
// Called on failure.
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert('failed');
// log the error to the console
console.error(
"The following error occurred: " + textStatus, errorThrown
);
});
Here's the whole thing:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#contact").validate({
rules: {
name: {required: true},
email: {required: true},
subject: {requred: true}
},
submitHandler: function(form) {
request = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
cache: false,
url: "<?php bloginfo("template_directory"); ?>/contact/process.php",
data: $(form).serialize(),
timeout: 3000
});
// Called on success.
request.done(function(msg) {
alert('works');
});
// Called on failure.
request.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
alert('failed');
// log the error to the console
console.error(
"The following error occurred: " + textStatus, errorThrown
);
});
return false;
}
});
});
Add no-cache to process.php header to help prevent the browser form caching content:
<?=header("cache-control: no-cache");?>
