Unhandled exception in http://localhost:1060/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js

Exception Message

Unhandled exception at line 5, column 2 in http://localhost:1060/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js

0x800a1391 - JavaScript runtime error: 'jQuery' is undefined

Resolution

The three references of Jquery should be in the following order only.

jquery-1.7.1.min.js
modernizr-2.5.3.js
jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js

 because validate.unobtrusive.min.js and modenizr-2.5.3.js takes reference from the jquery-1.7.1.min.js files.Hence the order of the files in the _layout.cshtml should not be changed.

Rearrange the references in above order and the exception would be resolved.
