If you will look at the CActiveForm::run:

$cs->registerCoreScript('yiiactiveform');
//...
$cs->registerScript(__CLASS__.'#'.$id,"jQuery('#$id').yiiactiveform($options);");

Then you will understand that you validation will not work, because you render partial and not the whole page. And these scripts show up at the bottom of the page. So you should solve this by execute these scripts.

After you partial is rendered, try to get activeform script which should be stored at the scipts array:

$this->renderPartial('_member',array('model'=> $model, 'index'=> $index));
$script = Yii::app()->clientScript->scripts[CClientScript::POS_READY]['CActiveForm#team-form'];

after, send it with rendered html to page:

echo ""

Also remember before you will append recieved html on the page you should include jquery.yiiactiveform.js, if you not already did it(by render another form, or registerCoreScript('yiiactiveform')), on the page from calling ajax request. Otherwise javascript error will raised.

Hope this will help.

Edit: Sorry I'm not understood that you are render part of form and not the whole. But you validation will not work exactly with the same issue. Because jQuery('#$id').yiiactiveform($options); script was not created for the field.
