Hello,

I came across something strange when creating an edit form with MVC 2. i realised that my error messages come up on form sumission even when i have filled ut valid data! i am using a buddy class which i have configured correctly ( i know that cos i can see my custom errors).

Here is the code from the viewmodel that generates this;

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl<TG_Careers.Models.Applicant>" %>
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcValidation.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
        <%= Html.ValidationSummary() %>
        <% Html.EnableClientValidation(); %>
        <% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
         <div class="confirm-module">
  <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2">

  <td><%= Html.LabelFor(model => model.FirstName) %>
