Hi,

I have a form I am using in a partial view (a password change form). I have written out a nice set of jquery validation rules, sitting in a script on the main page (not the partial). This is completely ignored. I now understand that I have to use jQuery unobtrusive validation as well. Is this correct?

I am unwilling to use Umbraco Forms because (a) I can't afford it b) I don't see why I should need it.

I enclose my code

Model public class ChangePasswordModel { [Required] [DisplayName("New Password")] public string NewPassword { get; set; } [Required] [DisplayName("Confirm Password")] public string VerifyPassword { get; set; } } View

@using ElyRunners.Models.CrudModels @inherits UmbracoTemplatePage @{ Layout = "Master.cshtml"; } @Html.Partial("~/Views/Partials/ChangePassword.cshtml", new ChangePasswordModel())

<script>
/* The passwords must match */
//$(".validation-summary-errors").removeClass("validation-summary-errors");
//$(".input-validation-error").removeClass("input-validation-error").parent().addClass("has-error");
$().ready(function() {
    // validate the changePasswordForm
    $("changePasswordForm").validate({
        rules: {
            newPassword : {
                required:true,
                minlength: 5
            },
            verifyPassword:{
                required:true,
                minlength: 5,
                equalTo: "#newPassword"
            }
        },
        messages: {
            newPassword: {
                required: "Please provide a password",
                minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long"
            },
            verifyPassword: {
                equired: "Please provide a password",
                minlength: "Your password must be at least 5 characters long",
                equalTo: "Please enter the same password as above"
            }
        }
    });
});

Partial View

@using ElyRunners.Controllers

@model ElyRunners.Models.CrudModels.ChangePasswordModel

Controller

public class ChangePasswordController: SurfaceController
{

   public ActionResult ChangePassword(ChangePasswordModel model)
    {
        var memberService = Services.MemberService;
        var membershipHelper = new MembershipHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
        var loggedInMember = membershipHelper.GetCurrentMember();
        var member = memberService.GetById(loggedInMember.Id);
        memberService.SavePassword(member,model.NewPassword);
        return Redirect("/");
    }

}
