The problem is that the confirmation alert inside the validation function seems to make validation trigger multiple times, so that user has to confirm again and again to make popup editor go away.
Jfiddle demo here: http://jsfiddle.net/uBfQ3/1/
To reproduce:
1. Edit discount field to more than 20 and hit update
2. Observe Confirm-popup triggering several times and popup editor is still present after hitting OK in all these windows
3. Hit update and observe yet another confirmation pops up
4. Hit OK and observe that popup editor finally goes away

Basically the validation is fired twice - once when loosing the focus of the input when clicking the Update button (the input looses focus before the Update button click event is fired) and once for the validating all inputs in the PopUp editor after pressing the "update" button (this behavior cannot be prevented). In current case I would suggest to use the save event of the grid to display the confirmation message to the user (please check the updated Fiddle here) or implement custom code to track which validation is fired - when loosing focus of the input or clicking the "update" button.

Thanks for your reply, however this solution still has issues:
1. It seems validation is triggered even if user presses 'Cancel'. E.g. if you set discount > 20 and hit cancel, validation message will still trigger!
2. you suggest using 'save' event, however in your code save-event does nothing besides contain debugger-statement.
I am thinking it might be the wrong code you linked to?
Thank you

I updated the provided jsFiddle to use the save event of the grid to display the confirmation message, prevent the model update and trigger the validation if the user cancels the update.
