Non mandatory fields in IE8 becomes mandatory (IE9, Chrome it works fine)

[Nirav]

Hi,

I have person details model and has address, city, state, postal code fields. Out of them the state and postal code are optional. I have not applied any external validations.

[Display(Name = "Address")]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[StringLength(200)]
[Required]
public string Address { get; set; }

[Display(Name = "State")]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[StringLength(100)]
public string State { get; set; }

[Display(Name = "Postal Code / Zip")]
[DataType(DataType.Text)]
[StringLength(10)]
public string ZipPostalCode { get; set; }

When I perform the add/edit operation through screen, i get address, state, postalcode are mandatory validation error in IE8. It works perfectly fine in IE9 and Chrome. I am using latest Kendo ASP.Net MVC build Q1 2013.

The same thing happens with my nullable foreign key. It excepts null value in IE9 and Chrome whereas gives validation error in IE8.

Thanks,
Nirav

I am using IE10 browser. I get above mentioned error in document mode IE8.

Anyone have faced the same kind of issue then please update me.

Hi,

Using document mode IE8 in IE 10 is not the same as IE8 and the browser will return an unexpected result for the attributes. The validation will work as expected when used in Internet Explorer 8.
