not sure what is wrong. Syntax seems correct.... but it still doesn't fire on client side. If I submit the form, I get server side validation, client side nothing...
Here is the code that is on the page:
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// we add a custom jquery validation method
(function ($) {
$.validator.addMethod('additive', function (value, element, params) {
//just return false to test it.
return false;
});
// and an unobtrusive adapter
$.validator.unobtrusive.adapters.add("additive", ["field2", "field3", "field4"], function (options) {
var params = {
field2: options.params.field2,
field3: options.params.field3,
field4: options.params.field4
};
options.rules['additive'] = params;
if (options.message) {
options.messages['additive'] = options.message;
}
});
}) (jQuery);
</script>
Here is the part that is on the validator that is related to client side (IClientValidatable):
public IEnumerable<ModelClientValidationRule> GetClientValidationRules(ModelMetadata metadata, ControllerContext context)
{
ModelClientValidationRule rule = new ModelClientValidationRule
{
ValidationType = "additive",
ErrorMessage = "ERROR MESSAGE"
};
rule.ValidationParameters.Add("field2", propName2);
rule.ValidationParameters.Add("field3", propName3);
rule.ValidationParameters.Add("field4", propName4);
yield return rule;
}
The model is decorated as following:
[SumValidation("OtherField2...")]
public int MyField { get; set; }
When field renders, it is all there, all the stuff from the server side in terms of data-xxx attributes. Just this specific client validation does not fire. Anyone see what I'm missing?
