Numeric Range validation does not work properly in jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js

I'm using jQuery Validation Plugin, v1.11.0,2/4/2013 with jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js.

I guess I face a bug of Range validation for numeric field: Validation compares String value with String of Min and String of Max, instead of comparing Number of field with min-number and max-number.

Repro-steps:

You set validation range 1-1000, using following HTML:

<input name="Data.MaxConcurrentInstances" class="text-box single-line" id="Data_MaxConcurrentInstances" type="number" value="" data-val-number="The field Max concurrent instances must be a number." data-val="true" data-val-range-min="1" data-val-range-max="1000" data-val-range="The field Max concurrent instances must be between 1 and 1000.">

You set test field value: 7.

Expected results: Validation successfull. No errors.

Actual results: Validation fails. Internal reason: it fails because alphabetically string "7" goes after string "1" and "1000", not between them.

Question: Is it this bug known? What is the best workaround for that?

Solution

  • I also see this issue. I just confirmed that it is fixed in JQuery Validation 1.11.1 update by updating my code manually. The update is not yet published on the NuGET repositories.

    You can download the update from here: http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-validation/

    Update from April 3rd:

    the NuGET package update is now available. If you update to JQuery Validation 1.11.1 via NuGET you'll have the issue fixed.
