Question

Scott Gu’s tutorial on Model validation gets us all set up with the MS client side validation using the following scripts:

<script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftMvcValidation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

However I’ve seen various posts allowing us to utilise jQuery instead with the following code:

<script src="https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery.Validate/1.6/jQuery.Validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="<%= Url.Content("~/scripts/MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js") %>" type="text/javascript"></script> 

However MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js does not ship with the solution and from what I read it should be part of the Futures pack which is no longer available on CodePlex.

I managed to find a version alongside jQuery 1.3.2 but it does not work.

What is the forward going solution!?

Answer 1

ASP.NET MVC Futures has not gone anywhere. 🙂
