                    <%= Html.LabelFor(m => m.RememberMe) %>
                </div>

                <p>
                    <input type="submit" value="Giriş" />
                </p>
            </fieldset>
        </div>
    <% } %>

I had issues with the built in client side validation in some ascx pages. What I had to do was use the jQuery validation to achieve this. Check out this link:
