Change your jquery code to this :

<script type="text/javascript">

   jQuery(document).ready(function(){
       // binds form submission and fields to the validation engine
       $('#myForm').validationEngine();
   });

</script>

Then add some classes to your form field , for example :

it is an input text and it is required :

<input type='text' class="validate[required] text-input">

or this one is an input text for just emails :

<input type='text' class="validate[required,custom[email]] text-input">

put a button and on its Click event call a javascript function like this :

function myValidation()
{

    if ($('#myForm').validationEngine('validate'))   
    { 
        //do somthing here beacause your form is valid
    }
}

all thing go right and you do that correct ,you can just call this method to validate all the field of your form

$('#myForm').validationEngine('validate');

this will return true if all field of your form validate right , else return false

Copy & Paste in assets->scripts-> of your working project.

Then change the src path like below.

<script src="assets/scripts/jquery.validationEngine-en.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>
