title: Using jQuery for client side validation in MVC2 RTM
body: <p>Scott Gu's tutorial on Model validation gets us all set up with the MS client side validation using the following scripts:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="../../Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="../../Scripts/MicrosoftMvcValidation.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However I've seen various posts allowing us to utilise jQuery instead with the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;script src="https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="https://ajax.microsoft.com/ajax/jQuery.Validate/1.6/jQuery.Validate.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script src="&lt;%= Url.Content("~/scripts/MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js") %&gt;" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js does not ship with the solution and from what I read it should be part of the Futures pack which is no longer available on CodePlex. </p>
  
  <p>I managed to find a version alongside jQuery 1.3.2 but it does not work.</p>
  
  <p>What is the forward going solution!?</p>
