ASP.NET MVC3 Client-Side Validation with alert

Question

is there a way out of the box to display the client side validation message through an alert instead of span?

Thanks...

It's just the jQuery validator, so you should be able to do the usual:

if (jQuery.validator) {
    jQuery.validator.setDefaults({
        showErrors: function (errorMap, errorList) {
            // do stuff
        }
    });
}

this works on the client side, but if I add an error to the ModelState on the server side it doesn't work. I guess there is no MVC3 OOB...

You'd need to (1) write CSS rules which hide the div returned by the server-side validations and (2) show it in an alert on $.ready(). That said, pages which show a browser-modal dialog on load are kind of obnoxious on a multi-tabbed browser.

This is an ASP.NET MVC project with multiple views for certain device types. This specific view is for the iPhone/iPod using the iWebKit. We're not worried about the alert being annoying.
