ASP.Net MVC 3 validation on AjaxForm - ajax

Question

I have an ajax form on razor view engine. For validation i use dataanotation classes. Validation work fine when user submit the form, validation messages work fine.
The problem is, validation wont work on keyup or blur events.
How can i activate validation without submit on ajaxform(ajax.beginform)
Here is my view code:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "employeeDetail", HttpMethod = "Post", OnComplete = "Complete",
Confirm = "Confirm?" }))
{
#Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Email)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model=>model.Email)
<span style="float:right"><input type="submit" class="tableGenelButton" id="submitButton" value="Kaydet" /></span>
}
Model:
[RequiredWithMessage]
[Display(Name = "E-Mail")]
public string Email { get; set; }

Update:
Ok, apparently you're using Ajax.BeginForm which uses MicrosoftAjax in stead of jQuery (I didn't realize that before). This one needs some extra work to enable client side validation:
You need
<% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %>
Somewhere in your page, and also links to MicrosoftAjax.js, MicrosoftMvcAjax.js and MicrosoftMvcValidation.js
Here's a link that might be interesting for you:
ASP.NET MVC Client Side Validation With Ajax.BeginForm
To enable client side validation for a custom validation attribute (I guess [RequiredWithMessage] is one of those), you have to implement the IClientValidatable interface.
Here is an article that explains how to do that:

Answer 2

Assuming you have client side validation enabled, you will need to call .validate() in the relevant events:
$("#theFormToValidate input").blur(function(){
$("#theFormToValidate").validate();
});
and
$("#theFormToValidate input").keyup(function(){
$("#theFormToValidate").validate();
});
