title: JQuery 1.6 $('form').validate() not working in IE7 & IE8
body: <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>:
  I've created a new MVC 3 project with Razor HTML 5, then I've updated the project with NuGet at JQuery 1.6 and the validation plugin doesn't work any more, it does a post back every time and returns the error message from server. I think the validation plugin is broken with <strong>JQuery 1.6</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have a MVC 3 app that uses Jquery UI dialog (loaded from a partial view that contains a form) in order to submit information over ajax to the server. I want to trigger the validation of my form on the client side before I do the ajax post. On Firefox and IE9 works fine, in IE7 &amp; IE8 the form.validate() always returns true.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the js code attached to my submit button:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    var wizard = $("#wizard"); //div that holds the modal dialog
      var myform = $("#wizard form");
  
      var submitFunction = function (e) {
          e.preventDefault(); //no postback
          myform.validate();
          if (myform.valid()) {
              $(this).attr("disabled", "disabled");
              submited = true;
              $.post(
                  "SuperAdmin/CreateEditController",
                  $(this).serialize(),
                  function (data) {
                      if (data.Success) {
                          wizard.dialog('destroy');
                      }
                      else {
                          wizard.html(data.Html);
                      }
                  },
                  "json"
              ); //end json post
          }
      };
  myform.submit(submitFunction);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am using the following includes:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.6.min.js")" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js")" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js")" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The JQuery Validation plugin was upgraded with NuGet at version 1.8.0 and JQuery library to 1.6.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:
  I've tested the code generated with scaffolding default template and it does the same thing, no client side validation. Maybe JQuery 1.6 is not compatible with the Razor scaffolding template ??</p>
