    <p>I am wondering if anyone has used the Jquery Validate Password plugin ( <a href="http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-password-validation/" rel="nofollow">http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-password-validation/</a>) to validate passwords but not require them.</p> <p>In my case, I am putting together an edit user form. A user cannot exist without having a password. So when an admin is editing a user, I know that a password has already been validated and assigned to the user.</p> <p>I want the Admin to be able to submit the form and leave the password fields blank. This means that the password was not changed. But, if the admin does want to change the password, I want to use jquery validate password (linked above) to validate the password.</p> <p>In my html <code>&lt;head&gt;</code>, I have:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script src="/Scripts/Common/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/Scripts/Common/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/Scripts/Common/jquery-validate.password/jquery.validate.password.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;link href="/Scripts/Common/jquery-validate.password/jquery.validate.password.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function() { $("#edit").validate(); $("#password").valid(); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>and in the <code>form</code> field (in Razor and MVC syntax):</p> <pre><code>@using (Html.BeginForm("Edit", "User", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "edit" })) { @Html.ValidationSummary() @Html.HiddenFor(model =&gt; model.UserAccount.UserAccountId) &lt;!-- other user fields removed for brevity --&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Password&lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; @Html.PasswordFor(x =&gt; x.Password, new { id="password", @class="password"}) @Html.ValidationMessageFor(x =&gt; x.Password) &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;div class="password-meter"&gt; &lt;div class="password-meter-message"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="password-meter-bg"&gt; &lt;div class="password-meter-bar"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;button type="submit"&gt;Save&lt;/button&gt; @Html.ActionLink("Nevermind", "Index") &lt;/p&gt; } </code></pre> <p>This works great. Though it requires a password to be entered. Can I modify it to not require the password and only validate it?</p>

    1. COjust wondering here `/Scripts/Common/jquery.js` you loading the minified jquery or standard? should usually have `jquery.min.js` (just a side comment)

    2. COYes... I believe it is minified. I just typed that in quick for this post as that link is in the masterpage and I was copying from the view. :-)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
