Hello,

So I am currently on Chapter 9 where you create a RequiredFieldValidator to insert an users' name. I have everything created on the Contact page and everything is laid out, but when I try to follow the example by leaving the name field blank and clicking the "send" button that I created, I am brought to an error message on my site.

Webforms UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for 'jquery'. Please add a ScriptResourceMapping named jquery (case-sensitive).

I googled around a little bit to see if anyone else had a similar problem, and a few people were saying to add an <appsettings> field in the web.config, yet when I try to enter this in <appsettings> isn't defined in my solution.

This is what other users are saying to insert in the .config:
I am using Visual Studio Professional 2012.

Nevermind, I figured the issue out.

Before I was adding the <appSettings> control after <system.web>, if I place it under <configuration> but before <system.web> and define the key and value, it works just fine.

Imar, I just wanted to say I appreciate this book. It has helped me out a ton so far and has actually assisted me in finding a job as a .NET developer. I continue to read your book to help further my knowledge as a developer. I also find it awesome that you get in contact with your readers directly if they have any questions.

Keep up the good work. We all appreciate everything you do!

-Thanks

That's great to hear. Congratulations!

Thanks!

Imar
