On Page Load… $(document).ready(function () { $("form").validate(); });
On Save Button Click Event… if($('form').valid()) { Saving data here... }
“Firebug” with Chrome and Firefox shows everything just perfect with $("form").validate() and even $('form').valid() returns true and false as expected, but can’t see error messages behind specific form controls.
*All are in MVC View
Bingo… Works the way I want now.
I just removed “jqueryval” bundle (“jquery.validate.js”, “jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js” and “jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js”), and have manually included “jquery.validate.js”.
Everything is just fine now.
