Hi I am using anchor tag in my view in asp.net and open a popup through jquery on clicking on that anchor tag.

<a href="#" id="guarantor-link">@Model.Guarantor</a>

I want to apply required validation on the that anchor tag.
Its default value is select.
Please help how can I do that?
I have tried different solutions, but they didn't help me out.

Validation has meaning for user input only. As clicking on a link can be treated as user input, validation makes sense (but not with DataAnnotation), but I can not figure out what exactly you want:
- on what user action
- what data should be checked
- and what values can be accepted as valid

BTW: legacy anchor syntax is (not supported in html5), but any visible element with id can be used as anchor.

You don't need to use data annotation for validating this. Please write javascript or jquery script for validating this.
else add a hidden field with the property @Model.Guarantor and put required attribute for that property.
