[Solved] Why try to load jquery.validate.js if ScriptRegistrar.jQuery(false)

[balticer]

Hi there,

is this a reasonable behaviour that Telerik.Web.Mvc is try to load the 'jquery.validate.js' script if 'jQuery(false)' is used? I think a better behaviour is to not try to load it or add a jQueryValidate(false) or something like that. Currently i use a patch to change it, so that 'jquery.validate.js' isn't load anymore if 'jQuery(false)' is used. Maybe there is another solution?

Patch (not fully tested yet):

// change line 33 in Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.ScriptRegistrar (ScriptRegistrar.cs)

private static readonly IList<string> frameworkScriptFileNames = new List<string> { jQuery }; //old

private static readonly IList<string> frameworkScriptFileNames = new List<string> { jQuery, jQueryValidation }; //new

 

// comment line 611 in  Telerik.Web.Mvc.UI.Grid (Grid.cs)
// (i'm wonder that's the only file where this is used)

ScriptFileNames.Add("jquery.validate.js"); // old

// ScriptFileNames.Add("jquery.validate.js"); // new

I use the currently available open source download version from the telerik site.

I agree, it is a bit confusing.  When you specify .jQuery(false) you would expect telerik not to load any jquery files.  We actually load all of our javascript files another way, so this was causing issues b/c the file was coming down twice.  What I ended up doing was adding an empty file called jquery.validate.js to the scripts folder so telerik would not blow up. Well, it wasn't completely empty (there was a "nice" comment in there about telerik's assumptions). :)  I think adding an empty file is preferable to editing the source, if you can do so.

Hi Danan,

actually this is the best solution. I'll prefer this over patching the code. Thx.
