Show ValidationSummary MVC3 as “alert-error” Bootstrap

Question

I want to show a ValidationSummary mcv3 with \"alert-error\" Bootstrap styling.

I\'m using a Razor view, and I show model errors with this code:

 @Html.V

I took a slightly different route: using JQuery to hook into the form submit:

$('form').each(function() {
    var theForm = $(this);
    theForm.submit(function() {
        if ($(this).valid()) {
            if ($(this).find('.validation-summary-valid').length) {
                $('.validation-summary-errors').hide();
            }
        } else {
            if ($(this).find('.validation-summary-errors').length) {
                $('.validation-summary-errors')
                    .addClass('alert alert-error')
                    .prepend('
Validation Exceptions:
');
            }
        }
    });
});

I have this set inside a self-executing javascript module so that it hooks onto any validation summaries that I create.
