Question

I\'d like to create a view model for a new user using the code below. The \"User\" class contains just the two properties (simplified for now) that I will persist to the databas

Just found the answer via StackOverflow and Microsoft Connect:

See:

http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/665793/jquery-unobtrusive-validate-equalto-fails-with-compare-attribute and JQuery 1.5 breaks Compare Validate (JQuery Validate 1.8)

To summerize, it looks like a bug in the jquery.validate.unobtrusive file that came with MVC3. The workaround is changing the following line in the jquery.validate.unobtrusive file.

element = $(options.form).find(":input[name=" + fullOtherName + "]")[0];

to

element = $(options.form).find(":input[name=" + fullOtherName.replace(".", "\\.") + "]")[0];

On Microsoft Connect, it says MS has fixed it, but i couldnt find the link to the new version. Anyways, this works for me in the meantime. Hope it helps
