Understanding the error: WebForms UnobtrusiveValidationMode requires a ScriptResourceMapping for 'jquery'

I have a web form project that I started in VS2010 and I have recently upgraded to VS2013.

However I am now getting the above error.
Searching the web the solution states to add the following key in my web.config file.

<add key="ValidationSettings:UnobtrusiveValidationMode" value="None" />

However why am I getting this error in the first place? I have several pages that work, but it wasn't until I added my Login.aspx file did I start to get this error.

Am I getting this error because this particular page is using ASP validators?

What I don't like is when I add the above web.config key I get a javascript error: JavaScript critical error at line 3, column 1 in http://localhost:11111/Scripts/jquery-2.2.1.js\n\nSCRIPT1002: Syntax error
If I continue on past the error the page does function correctly.

If I can better understand this error maybe it would be more beneficial for me to address this particular page instead of just turning off stuff in the web.config.

Suggest that you can register your jquery script properly in Web Forms by adding this to your page load codebehind:

ScriptManager.ScriptResourceMapping.AddDefinition("jquery", new ScriptResourceDefinition { Path = "~/scripts/...", DebugPath = "~/scripts/..." });"

This may be preferable to turning off settings in your web config.
