For those in the same boat...

If you are using the latest version of JQuery, you will find that the Cancel buttons will stop working. This is because of depreciated code in /administrator/components/com_mycomponent/js/jquery.validationEngine.js

It produces the JS error...

TypeError: form.find(...).not(...).die is not a function

The die() method was removed in jQuery 1.9. See jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/#die-removed

Using an older version of jQuery will get you by (version 1.8 )

Or, for an alternative fix, on line 97 and 98 change

form.find("["+options.validateAttribute+"*=validate]").not("[type=checkbox]").die(options.validationEventTrigger, methods._onFieldEvent);
form.find("["+options.validateAttribute+"*=validate][type=checkbox]").die("click", methods._onFieldEvent);

with

form.find("["+options.validateAttribute+"*=validate]").not("[type=checkbox]").off(options.validationEventTrigger, methods._onFieldEvent);
form.find("["+options.validateAttribute+"*=validate][type=checkbox]").off("click", methods._onFieldEvent);

Also, line 101, change

form.die("submit", methods.onAjaxFormComplete);

with

form.off("submit", methods.onAjaxFormComplete);

Admittedly - I don't really understand this code as well as I should - so hopefully I haven't busted something else with this change! Reply back if you know better...

Same sort of issue as

Thanks for the tip bottomupwebs, it really helped!

In Joomla 2.5, this solves the issue with the cancel button. Using your fixes, I got the cancel buttons to work with JQuery 1.9. I also changed line 28 of /administrator/components/com_mycomponent/js/jquery.validationEngine.js

from

$(".formError").live("click", function() {

to

jQuery(document).on("click",".formerror",function() {

with this change, the validation engine seems to work with jQuery 1.9. Without it, the application runs, but there is no validation.
