How to validate manually at client in Asp.net MVC 3? - asp.net-mvc

Question

I want to validate form when click client button out of form, i tryed some method but all failed,help please?
source code:
#model MvcTest.Models.Movie
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
Html.EnableClientValidation(true);
}
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
#using (Html.BeginForm("TestValidate", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "tf" }))
{
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Title)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Title)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Title)
}
<a onclick="test(event)" href="#">
<script type="text/javascript">
function test() {
//How to write here?
}
</script>
namespace MvcTest.Models
{
public class Movie
{
public int ID { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Error Message Test,I want you")]
public string Title { get; set; }
}
public class MovieDBContext : DbContext {
public DbSet<Movie> Movies { get; set; }
}
}
I invoked valid but ,it always warning the object form don't support this methord "validate()"
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#myform").validate();
$("test").click(function() {
alert("Valid: " + $("#myform").valid());
return false;
});
});
I have import js like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/lib/jquery.delegate.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/validate/jquery.validate.js"></script>
or these:
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
