Here's another solution:
I used MVC 3 with jQuery 1.71 and jQuery UI 1.8.20. I used the jQuery UI Tabs widget and setup each tabbed area to load a partial page that contained input fields.
Works great in Firefox v22 and Chrome v28, fails in IE10. The error I got was 'Unable to get property 'settings' of undefined or null reference'
The resolution was to go to the partial forms and comment out the following code:
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.7.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>*
It now works successfully in all browsers.
