Question

My view

<div id="ValidationSummary">
     @Html.Partial("ValidationSummary")
</div>

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", //<-- Action name
    "JobDetails", //<-- Controller name
     new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "Post", UpdateTargetId = "ValidationSummary" }))
{

}

I want the ValidationSummary to replace. But it changes my url to JobDetails

Make sure you have added the following script to your page:

• jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js

In ASP.NET MVC 3, jQuery is the default client side framework used for client side validation and Ajax.

Ajax helpers such as Ajax.BeginForm and Ajax.ActionLink emit HTML5 data-* attributes that are interpreted by the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js script and AJAXified in this way.

Also make sure that you have removed all references to Microsoft*.js scripts. Those are obsolete and should no longer be used in ASP.NET MVC 3.
