You shouldn't call the validate in the click event handler, but as an initialization step:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#logform').validate({
        rules: {
            txtUsr: {
                required: true
            },
            txtPass: {
                required: true
            }
        },
        messages: {
            txtUsr: {
                required: 'Please enter username'
            },
            txtPass: {
                required: 'Please enter password'
            }
        }
    });
});

It will hook up itself to the keyup and submit events.

Problem is due to script self-closing tags.

Try this out:

http://jsfiddle.net/adiioo7/FFTkJ/

Use

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.0/jquery.validate.js"></script>

instead of

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.min.js" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.0/jquery.validate.js" />
