I'm using MVC and jquery unobtrusive validation. I have a field that is marked for remote validation (via metadata in the C# class).

 

I need to manually validate a form on the client (as I'm not submitting it, it's a form inside a modal popup). When I call code to validate the form:

 

$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('#myform');

var isValid = $('#myform').valid();

 

'isValid' returns true despite the remote validation being called and returning false. I can't find a tidy solution to wait for remote validation to return and give me a value.

 

Incidently, the same field with remote validation has required and regex validation that doesn't fire with the remote validation set.
