  e.preventDefault();  
  
  if($(normalValidationFormClass).leanValidator("validate")) {  
    alert("Normal Form is good.");  
  }  
});

Currently following attributes are supported for validation

• data-lv-validate="required" if an input field is required
• data-lv-validate="email" if an input should be a valid email
• data-lv-validate="number_greater_than_zero"if an input must have a number greater than zero
• data-lv-validate-title="Password" if custom title must be used for input instead default one
• data-lv-validate-no-disabled="true" by default lean validator will validate disabled inputs as well but passing the attribute will stop that behavior
