[asp.net mvc] xVal Cliend side validation with ajax, RenderPartial form

Question

Hi there

I'm not sure if my issue is more general or only xVal specific.

At the moment I have a form with an undefined list of partial forms Something like this. There I load a partial form with Ajax, with xVal I attach also a validator.

My problem now is that the rendered form is not validated until a postback.

Is there any possibility to get validation work / run javascript on Ajax-requested forms?

Firefox validates the partial rendered form correctly, internet explorer is doing it after a postback.

Is it possible to validate ajax-rendered forms on client site with Internet Explorer?

I hope my problem is clear, if not I will provide some code, but I think it's not code-specific for now.

Regards

Are you using jquery.validate for client-side validation? If so, you could trigger validation manually upon an onchange event of the given field.

Have a look at the valid() and element() functions. The former tells you whether the field is currently marked as valid and the latter triggers validation for that field.
