Jquery form submit in IE is not validating before submit

The below jquery script iam using. But this is working in both firefox and chrome but not in IE.

<script type="text/javascript">
$.validator.setDefaults({
submitHandler: function() {
        //alert("submitted!");
        debug: false;
    form.submit();
    }
});;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
                   $.validator.addMethod("mobilecheck", function(value, element) {
                        return this.optional(element) || /^[0-9]+$/i.test(value);
                    }, "mobile number  must contain only numbers");
                $.validator.addMethod("namecheck", function(value, element) {
                        return this.optional(element) || /^[a-z\s]+$/i.test(value);
                    }, "User Name must contain only letters");

                    $("#myform").validate({
                                rules: {
                                                fullname:{ required : true , namecheck :true},

                                                mobile:{ required : true, mobilecheck :true },

                                                city: { required : true},


                                                locality: { required : true},

When i submit form in IE, its not validating but submitting form. In chrome and IE .jquery is validating form before submitting.

and i removed unwanted commas from code

---

Remove the trailing commas in the below properties, it will work fine. Check for hometown in rules and email in messages propreties that have a unnecessary comma at the end. This works fine in all other browser except IE.

        rules: {
            fullname: { 
                required: true, namecheck: true }, mobile: { required: true,
                mobilecheck: true
            },
            city: { required: true },
            locality: { required: true },
            email: {
                required: true, email: true
            },
            jobcity: { required: true }, 
            hometown: { required: true }
        },
        messages: {
            fullname: { 
                required: "Please enter your fullname", 
                namecheck: " Full Name must contain only alphabets<br />"
            },
            mobile: {
                required: "Please enter mobile number",
                mobilecheck: "Mobile number must contain only numbers " 
            },
            city: "Please enter your current city",
            jobcity: "please select city", 
            locality: "please enter locality where you are staying",
            email: {
                email: "Please enter a valid email address",
                required: "please enter email address"
            }
        }
