unobtrusive validation not working with dynamic content

Question

I\'m having problems trying to get the unobtrusive jquery validation to work with a partial view that is loaded dynamically through an AJAX call.

Answer 1

If you try to parse a form that is already parsed it won't update

What you could do when you add dynamic element to the form is either

1. You could remove the form's validation and re validate it like this:

   var form = $(formSelector)
       .removeData("validator") /* added by the raw jquery.validate plugin */
       .removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");  /* added by the jquery unobtrusive plugin*/
   
   $.validator.unobtrusive.parse(form);
   

2. Access the form's unobtrusiveValidation data using the jquery data method:

   $(form).data('unobtrusiveValidation')
   

   then access the rules collection and add the new elements attributes (which is somewhat complicated).

You can also check out this article on Applying unobtrusive jquery validation to dynamic content in ASP.Net MVC for a plugin used for adding dynamic elements to a form. This plugin uses the 2nd solution.
