ValidationMessage shows on initial GET method

I'm working on an MVC 4 project that consistently shows ValidationMessage even in a simple GET method that doesn't perform complex type model validation or binding:

//location/{locationId}/announcement
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult LocationMakeAnnouncement(int locationId)
{
    var pageViewModel = this.BuildLocationMakeAnnouncementViewModel(locationId);
    return View(pageViewModel);
}

BuildLocationMakeAnnouncementViewModel

only creates the ViewModel and does not touch the ModelState.

Then on the view I have:

<span class="errorArea">@Html.ValidationMessage("ProductText", " ", new { @class = "inputErrorIcon" })</span>

Which emits:

<span class="errorArea"><span class="field-validation-valid inputErrorIcon" data-valmsg-for="ProductText" data-valmsg-replace="false"> </span></span>

ModelState output shows it has no errors

@ViewData.ModelState.Values.Any(x => x.Errors.Count >= 1)

Why does ValidatioMessage output when there are no errors?

Any suggestions?

It turns out this is the behavior if you include the ClientValidationEnabled and the UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled.

So setting them to false fixed my problem:



<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="false" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="false" />

If you want client validation to be activated I had a similar problem with ValidationSummary

but I just believe these things are rendered. All you have to do is style the "valid" material in display: none

. In your case, it looks like this:



.field-validation-valid { display: none; }
