Question

I am working on an MVC 3 project and i am having issue with enabling client side validation.

In my master layout I have the following

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>    
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/modernizr-1.7.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

When i turn on client side validation in root web.config

<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />

then on submitting the form, the validation works but if i enter valid values on the form and submit it, it never gets posted back to the server as if the validation is failing on the client side. I can see in firebug/fiddler that nothing is posting back. Any idea?

Here is thought from my experience.

I experienced similar kind of situation, later found that one of the validation in the page is failing which is not explicit.

• Make sure that after you entered the input, all the input satisfy the validation
• Make sure that you have validation error message for each unique scenarios
