body: <p>I am creating a simple mvc3 application.</p>
  
  <p>the VIew is </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script&gt;
  function Submitform() {
      var form = $('#frmAddStudent');
      if (form) {
          if (form.valid()) {
              $(form).submit();
          }
      }
  }
  &lt;/script&gt;
  
  @using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddStudent", "Student", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST" }, new { id = "frmAddStudent" }))
  {
  @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
  
      &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt;
          @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.StudentName)
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt;
          @Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.StudentName)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.StudentName)
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt;
          @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.Address)
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt;
          @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.Address)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.Address)
      &lt;/div&gt;
  
      &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt;
          @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.DOB)
      &lt;/div&gt;
      &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt;
          @Html.Telerik().DatePickerFor(model =&gt; model.DOB)
          @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.DOB)
      &lt;/div&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
     &lt;input type="button" value="Add" class="btn" onclick="return Submitform()" /&gt;
      &lt;input type="button" value="Cancel" class="close btn" onclick="closeDialog()" /&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now the Problem is when i click on Submit button javascript function calls and it doesn't recognize "form.valid()" function.</p>
  
  <p>it displays 
  <strong><em>form.valid()  TypeError: form.valid is not a function</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>so, whats the Problem in this .</p>
