client side validation in mvc 4

Question

I have the following in my web.config...

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

... and I'm referencing jquery validation in my view...

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")"></script>

... but validation is only occurring on the server. What else do I need to do to get client side validation to work? I thought that using the data annotations of [Required] on my model properties and then referencing the jquery validate files that it would then perform client side validation... but apparently there's more to it.

Use f12 in your chosen browser. And check the console for errors
