Did you include/reference all the necessary javascript files?

You say you use MVC 3.

If you have UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled then you'll need:

• jQuery
• jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js

if you also use client side validation, you'll need;

• jquery.validate.js
• jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js

These files can all be found when you create a new MVC3 project.
