[Solved] clientside validation in mvc1

[Daniel Collier]

In your clientside validation demo, you used the mvc2 data annotations feature.  Do you support any clientside validation in mvc1?

Hello Daniel,

ASP.NET MVC 1.0 does not support client-side validation at all. MVC 1.0 has only server-side validation.
We depend on the framework validation support. Hence there is no way how to support client validation with MVC 1.0

Thanks for the response, George.  I can understand your approach regarding mvc validation.  I think my confusion now is we cannot seem to use other means of client side validation.  We had been using jquery validation (ie. class = "required") on our required elements.  I see where we can add client events and I guess we could use those to validate, but that would be rather tedious in my mind.

With your controls, we tried adding validation inside a view page using something like this, and while it seems to work for non telerik inputs, this does not work for any Telerik inputs.  Is there something else we could try to get clientside jquery validation to work?

<%Html.Telerik().ScriptRegistrar().Scripts(scripts => scripts.AddGroup("Validation", group => group.Add("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js"))).OnDocumentReady(() =>

       {%>

      $("#editform").validate({

          rules: {

            beginDate: {

              required: true

            },

            endDate: {

              required: true

            },

            user: {

              required: true

            },

            zipCode: {

              required: true

            }

          }

      });

<% });%>

Hi Daniel Collier,

Here is a simple test project which shows how to use jQuery.validate with out NumericTextBox component.
