I have a form that has a link that fires off some ajax and passes through the value of a text box. I would like to be able to cause the same validation on that text box that would occur if I had clicked submit (and preferably without any changing of the standard javascript) but not fire off the validation for everything else in the form that has validation.
Is there a particular function that I need to call on the click?
MVC3 uses the jQuery Validate plugin.
Call
$('form selector').validate().form().
