asp.net mvc client side validation not working?
For some reason my client side validation does not seem to be working:
Here is my html:
@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<hr />
<p>
<label>Select Client_ID: </label>
<span class="field">
<select name="clientId" id="clientId">
@foreach (var item in Model.ClientId)
{
<option value="@item">@item</option>
}
</select>
</span>
</p>
<p>
<label>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserModel.name)</label>
<span class="field">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserModel.name)
</span>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserModel.name)
</p>
<p>
<label>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserModel.password)</label>
<span class="field">
@*<input name="password" id="password" type="password" />*@
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserModel.password)
</span>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserModel.password)
</p>
<p>
<label>@Html.LabelFor(model => model.UserModel.email)</label>
<span class="field">
@*<input name="email" id="email" type="email" />*@
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.UserModel.email)
</span>
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.UserModel.email)
</p>
<p>
<label>Select: </label>
<span class="field">
<select name="accessLevel" id="accessLevel">
<option value="3">Company</option>
<option value="5">End-User</option>
</select>
</span>
</p>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
Here is my model:
public class CreateUserModel
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "Client_ID")]
public string clientId { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "A name is required")]
[MaxLength(20), MinLength(2, ErrorMessage = "Name must be 2 character or more")]
[Display(Name = "Name")]
public string name { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Email Address")]
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Email is Required")]
[RegularExpression(@"^([a-zA-Z0-9_\-\.]+)@((\[[0-9]{1,3}" +
@"\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.)|(([a-zA-Z0-9\-]+\" +
@".)+))([a-zA-Z]{2,4}|[0-9]{1,3})(\]?)$",
ErrorMessage = "Email is not valid")]
public string email { get; set; }
[Required]
[MaxLength(20), MinLength(6, ErrorMessage = "Password Must be 6 or more chataters long")]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string password { get; set; }
[Required]
public int accessLevel { get; set; }
}
and I do have client side enabled in the webconfig:
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />

Answer
For some reason the Html helpers does not have generated validation attributes in the inputs (data-val="true" and the others), check that. Besides to check the order in which the javascript libraries are loaded:
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validation.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.validation.unobtrusive.js"></script>
