Answer 2

If you're using the Unobtrusive Validation plugin, then you cannot also call jQuery Validate's .validate() method.

Why?

1. The Unobtrusive Validation plugin automatically constructs the .validate() method based on the various data attributes in your form.

2. The jQuery Validate plugin does not allow the .validate() method to be called more than once on the same form. So since you're already using Unobtrusive Validation to construct .validate(), your other call to .validate() will be totally ignored.
