PartialView Validation

Question

I am having this issue where I have a form in a partialview but when validating it jumps out of the parent view and appears on its own (having the submit action url).

Also I tried with Render.Action, where validation does not fire at all.

I am using ASP.NET MVC 2 RC and need the server-side validation to work, using the built in validation. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks

Code Partial View:

<%=Html.ValidationSummary() %>

<% using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "Category", FormMethod.Post))
   {%>

    <fieldset>
        <legend>Edit category</legend>
        <p>
            <label for="CategoryName">Category name:</label>
            <%= Html.TextBox("CategoryName", Model.CategoryName)%>
            <%= Html.ValidationMessage("CategoryName", "*")%>
        </p>

        <p class="submit">
            <input type="submit" value="Edit" />
            <%=Html.AntiForgeryToken()%>                
            <%= Html.Hidden("CatId", Model.Id)%>

        </p>
    </fieldset>


<% }

Model Property:

[Required(ErrorMessage="Required")]
public string CategoryName { get; set; }

Edit Action:

[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[HttpPost()]
public ActionResult Edit(int catId, CategoryPageViewModel categoryModel)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
        //TODO
}
return View("list", categoryModel);
}

Does your main view also display category? You're passing "list" a categoryModel. Is this enough for the main view as well as the partial view.
