Trying to learn the basics of ASP.net MVC and cant quite understand why my client side validation isnt working.
I have this in both my web.config files (1 is global 1 is in the views folder)
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
I have this in my _layout.cshtmlfile
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")
@Scripts.Render("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")
This is my view model for which im testing registration:
public class RegisterVM
{
[Required(ErrorMessage="Username Required")]
public string username { get; set; }
[RegularExpression(@"((?=.*\d)(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z]).{6,20})")]
[Required(ErrorMessage="Password Required")]
public string password { get; set; }
[Compare("password", ErrorMessage="Passwords do not match")]
public string passwordConfirm { get; set; }
}
And this is my html
@using(@Html.BeginForm()){
@Html.LabelFor( model => model.username)
@Html.EditorFor( model => model.username)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor( model => model.username)<br />
@Html.LabelFor( model => model.password)
@Html.PasswordFor( model => model.password)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor( model => model.password)<br />
@Html.LabelFor( model => model.passwordConfirm)
@Html.EditorFor( model => model.passwordConfirm)
@Html.ValidationMessageFor( model => model.passwordConfirm)<br />
<input type="submit" value="Register" />
}
Didn't want to post here, ive read a few topics on here related but cant seem to fix my issues, when i click submit it's making post/get requests.
