I am changing a create form to become a modal dialog and jquery Unobtrusive validation stops working and don't know how to fix it.
Index.cshtml has a link to trigger a modal dialog.
<a href="#" id="createCustomer">Create</a>
@section scripts{
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#createCustomer').on('click', function () {
$.get('/Customer/Create', function (data) {
$('#modalContainer').html(data);
$('#myModal').modal({});
});
});
Create.cshtml is a partial view.
@model Demo.Web.Models.CustomerVm
@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Customer", FormMethod.Post, new { @id="createForm" }))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>Customer</h4>
<hr />
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name)
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Create" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
@section Scripts {
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
On the controller there is an actionmethod which returns a partial view for create form.
public ActionResult Create()
{
return PartialView("Create");
}
view modal
public class CustomerVm
{
[Required]
public int Id { get; set; }
[Required]
public string Name { get; set; }
}
before i changed it to be a modal dialog .. everything was working but now i don't know how to fix it. How can i make validation work with dialog? Obviously, I don't want to rewrite validation rules on client script .. i want to get it working from view model .. thanks.
