Jquery form submit validation

Question

I have following form:

<form id="testForm" action="country_Save">
   Country Name:<input type="text" id="countryName" />  
   <input type="submit" id='saveCountry' value="Add Country" />
</form>

and following JQuery for validating textfield

$('#testForm')
   .jqxValidator({  rules : [
          {
              input : '#countryName',
              message : 'Country Name is required!',
              action : 'keyup, blur',
              rule : 'required'
          }],
          theme : theme
});

How can i use this validation when I am submitting a form?
