I’ve got a partial View, loaded from an Action, so the parent view contains:

@Html.Action("TourSearch")

The TourSearch View uses a editor as such:

@Html.EditorFor(model => model.ImpersonatedAgentModel, "ImpersonatedAgentView")

where ImpersonatedAgentModel is as such:

[Serializable]
  public class ImpersonatedAgentModel
  {
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please provide a User ref")]
    public string AgentImpersonatedUserName { get; set; }
    [Required(ErrorMessage="Please provide a ABTA/AgencyCode")]
    public string AgentImpersonatedBranchCode { get; set; }
    [Required(ErrorMessage = "Please provide a User ref")]
    public int? AgentImpersonatedBranchID { get; set; }
  }

My editor is pretty straight forward:

@model Travel2.WebUI.Models.ImpersonatedAgentModel

<ul id="agencyDetails">
    <li>
        <label for="AgentImpersonatedBranchCode">ABTA/Agency Code: *</label>
        @Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.AgentImpersonatedBranchCode, new {ID="txtBranchCode" })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.AgentImpersonatedBranchCode, "*")
        <input id="txtBranchId", type="hidden" value="@Model.AgentImpersonatedBranchID" />
        <input id="txtUserName", type="hidden" value="@Model.AgentImpersonatedUserName" />
        <input id="hidCurrentController" type="hidden" value='@ViewContext.Controller.ValueProvider.GetValue("controller").RawValue' />
    </li>
    <li>
        <label for="AgentImpersonatedUserName">User ref: *</label>
        <select id="ddlUser" disabled="disabled" ></select>
                <input type="hidden" id="txtUserID" />
                @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.AgentImpersonatedUserName, new {ID="AgentImpersonatedUserName" })
                @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.AgentImpersonatedBranchID, new {ID="AgentImpersonatedBranchID"})
                            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.AgentImpersonatedUserName, "*")

    </li>

</ul>

Now in Chrome, all works fine. But when I fill in the form in IE but not the data in the Editor, it passes validation incorrectly!

If I examine the markup, using IEs poor excuse for Firebug, I can see the validation attributes,

<input name="ImpersonatedAgentModel.AgentImpersonatedBranchCode" id="txtBranchCode" type="text" data-val="true" data-val-required="Please provide a ABTA/AgencyCode" jQuery172048066185567747205="94"/>

so why is IE ignoring them!! Stupid IE
