  1. POHow can I enable/disable unobtrusive validation on show/hide via jquery?

    copied!<p>Update: What I'm asking is whether it's possible to remove validation rules which are inferred from Attributes on fields in my viewmodel, on the client side ONLY.</p> <p>--</p> <p>I am toggling the display of certain fields when a choice is made from a dropdown list. I need to also toggle the validation.</p> <p>ViewModel.cs:</p> <pre><code>public int ddlTypeID { get; set; } public Dictionary&lt;int, string&gt; ddlTypes { get; set; } [Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "msgRequired", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Globals))] public DateTime firstDate {get; set;} [Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "msgRequired", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Globals))] public DateTime otherDate {get; set;} </code></pre> <p>Create.cshtml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function () { $('.optional').hide(); $('#ddlTypeID').change(function () { var id = $(this).val(); if (id == 1) { $('.optional').show(); } else { $('.optional').hide(); } }); }); &lt;/script&gt; @using (Html.BeginForm()) { &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.DropDownListFor(x=&gt;x.ddlTypeID, new SelectList(Model.ddlTypes,"Key","Value",Model.ddlTypeID),Resources.Globals.msgType) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.ddlTypeID) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.firstDate ) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.firstDate ) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.firstDate ) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-label optional"&gt; @Html.LabelFor(model =&gt; model.otherDate ) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="editor-field optional"&gt; @Html.EditorFor(model =&gt; model.otherDate ) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model =&gt; model.otherDate ) &lt;/div&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Save" /&gt; } </code></pre> <p>This works to hide/show the fields for otherDate - but how can I toggle the validation at the same time? Or is there a better way to do this?</p>
