validate callback doesn't work

[jwize]

This is straight forward but the callback is never hit. 

        $("#form1").kendoValidator({
            validate: function(e) {
                debugger
                console.log("valid" + e.valid);
            }
        }).validate();

Can anybody help me on this (Yes the form exists)?
Also, shouldn't this also be hit on blur?

Hi Jaime,

As you may know the validate is method of the kendoValidator widget. However in the snippet you have pasted it is called on the actual form element. This is what is return by the jQuery plugin creator method (kendoValidator())
Therefore, in order to execute the validate method you will need to get the widget instance first, similar to the following:

$("#form1").kendoValidator({
  validate: function(e) {
    debugger
    console.log("valid" + e.valid);
  }
}).data("kendoValidator").validate();

It is surprising that the validate function is not called on blur. This appears to make it impossible to disable buttons while invalid. Unfortunately, <button data-bind="disabled: field"> doesn't work though <input type="submit" data-bind="disabled: field"> does work.

I tried hacking this by calling validate() in a timer. The problem is the error msgs appear before the inputs have been dirtied.

Another issue is that Model inherits from Observable but binding a Model instance to a form causes exceptions. 

Another issue is I don't see a Model.validate() method or a way to bind a Model instance.

Is there a way to change tooltip position in the errorTemplate?
