Programatically disabling jQuery client validation in ASP.NET MVC

Question

I am using the jQuery MVC validation library for ASP.NET MVC, which is working fine.

However, on my form I have a 'Cancel' and a 'Save' button, both of which I want to submit the form back to the server.

However, if the user clicks 'Cancel' I need to disable the client side validation so that the user doesn't get prompted to complete required fields before they can cancel!

Any pointers would be appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to use validation groups: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms227424.aspx
