Disable Client Side validation for one submit button in ASP.NET MVC4

Question

I have created the view in MVC 4.0 and i have placed four text boxes and two submit buttons, one for create and one for cancel. Validation should be occur for the text boxes while i am clicking the create button. while clicking the cancel button, we need disable the validation. in ASP.NET, we can achieve this by setting the CausesValidation = false for the cancel button. in MVC 4.0, how we will achieve this? Could you please help me on this.

Thanks

You can simply use ActionLink to redirect user to different action. — Anupam Singh

Just add class="cancel" to the button

For example,

<input type="submit" name="btnCancel" value="Cancel" class="cancel"/>

Updated

Use this link to identify which submit button has been pressed.

if i add "cancel" css class, it prevents the client side validation. in my case, i want to call the different action method in the same controller while clicking the cancel button. now it calls the same action method

But, you specifically asked to avoid client side validation on cancel button. However, I have updated my answer and added link where you'll get idea how to do that.

What does the class cancel do here? Is that a class jquery validation looks at before running client side validation?

you don't have to make a cancel button submit instead you can make it link button

 @Html.ActionLink("Back","ActionName")

or you can make it <input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="JsFunction()" /> the two cases they will not affect with validation
