MVC2 Client side validation within Jquery modal dialog

Question

Using MVC2 I currently have a view creating a jquery dialog box containing an Edit partial view. On submit I am looking for it to perform client side validation on the Email class which has a required data annotation attribute for email address. Server side validation works fine but I want the user to have to fix the error in the modal dialog.

Below is the code

<% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
<div>
 <label for="EmailAddress">
                    Email Address :
                </label>
 <%= Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email.EmailAddress)%>
 <%= Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Email.EmailAddress)%>
</div>

Scripts I am loading up are

<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jqueryUI/js/jquery-ui-1.7.2.custom.min.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/Splitter/splitter-1.5.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/Scripts/Start.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/Scripts/extended/ExtendedControls.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js")%>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<%= ResolveUrl("~/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js")%>"></script>

Looking at the html generated I am not getting any of the JSON data generated for the client side validation to work.

Any solutions gladly appreciated. S
