I'm using validator to validate my html form. My form has two submit buttons Save and Cancel. So now if I click the cancel button it does a validation and prevents the submit. Is it possible to disable of bypass this behavior so that cancel will submit the form without validation?

Hello Satish,

You may consider not using the automatic validation when form is submitted (by not attaching the KendoUI Validator to the form element but to some other container) and handle the validation on the button click as shown in this online demo.

you can do that by calling this function in your cancel button click
validator.destroy();
but bear in mind that your form will be submitted to the controller

Incase you did not know how to use the destroy

    var validatable = $("form").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator"); 

    $("#btnCancel").click(function () {
        validatable.destroy();
    });
