ASP.net MVC form post with jQuery & validation

John_Mc

Hi,

I'm having problems using jQuery to make a form post to my controller whilst still keeping the MVC Data Annotations validations working.

If I hook up the jQuery event then the post is made even if the client validation has failed.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to make the post using jQuery, and replace the content of another div with the result. Has anyone been able to do this in combination with the MVC validators?

I'm trying to get around this by using the form post action but I'm having problems replacing the other div when the form action has been successful.

Any help would be appreciated!

I got this working by using the ASP.net ajax form instead of a regular form. This is exactly what I was looking for..

<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("Post", new AjaxOptions
           {
               UpdateTargetId = "GBPostList",
               InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore,
               OnSuccess = "getGbPostSuccess",
               OnFailure = "showFaliure"
           }))
