Enable unobtrusive validation for mvc forms

The form is rendered using "Html.BeginUmbracoForm()" and the model is anotated with some validation attributes, as per sugestion on this documen: http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Mvc/forms

Now, how can I enable client side validation so MVC can automatically wires up these validation attributes with the front-end?

After a 24 hours shift and unable to come up with a solution (couldn't get client side validation to work) I endup creating this post.
However, after some sleep I came back and notice some problem with my code.
Bottom line is: there is nothing special about enabling the client side validation, just had to do the same as I do in any mvc project.

Web.config:
```
<configuration>
```
```
  <appSettings>
```
```
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true"/> 
```
```
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true"/> 
```
```
  </appSettings>
```
And off course, add the javascript references.
```
    <script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
```
```
    <script src="/scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
```
I tried to delete this post though but since the "Delete" option is not working, I updated it just for fun :-)

Very helpful! And you can get all the jQuery files from Microsoft's CDN, too - http://www.asp.net/ajaxlibrary/cdn.ashx

So as a comment here, be carefull to put in these keys in the website's web.config and not that little web.config inside the views folder. I just spent 2 hours moving those to lines to the proper place :)

Did anybody notice that after this change is done user panel stops working? Nothing can be done, every keystroke make the page reload with page saved message.
