Range validation not working properly in MVC3

I am generating data validation javascript in an Asp.Net MVC 3 application with the following code

[DisplayName("Latitude Degrees")]
[Range(0, 90, ErrorMessage = "Latitude degrees must be between {1} and {2}")]
public Int32? LatitudeDegrees { get; set; }

on a view model. When it was MVC2 this worked just fine, if I entered a value outside of 0-90 in the textbox I got the validation warnings.

Since I moved the application to MVC 3, whenever I put any value into the texbox, legal or illegal I get the validation error appear next to it.

I have EnableClientValidation set to true and UseUnobtrusiveJavascript is off (nothing in web.config or the views to turn it on).

I coudln't reproduce your problem! I'm using ASP.NET MVC3 with ClientValidationEnabled set to true and UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled set to false, and I've tried the same attributes (copy-pasted them, actually), and everything seems to work just as expected. The problem might be somewhere else other than what you've listed here.

If you want unobtrusive client side validation in web config try setting both ClientValidationEnabled and UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled to true. Then make sure you have removed all traces of MicrosoftAjax* client script libraries and have included jquery and jquery.validate as that's what MVC 3 uses:

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