Hi,

I am trying to get the Validator working on a KendoUI date picker and cannot see what I am doing wrong.

I am attempting to use the following code.

<div id="tickets">
  <label for="datepicker">Start Date</label>
  <input type="date" id="datepicker" name="searchstart" />
  <span class="k-invalid-msg" data-for="searchstart" validationMessage="Test"></span>
</div>
<script>
   $(document).ready(function() {
      $("#datepicker").kendoDatePicker({
          format: "dd/MM/yyyy"
      });
      var validator = $("#tickets").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator");
    });
</script>

When the page loads, I can type what ever text I want in the date such as "kendo", lose focus on the element and no validation occurs.

I have tested this on both JSBin and Kendo Dojo without any success

What am I missing?

Kind Regards,
Jonathan

So I have got something a bit working, however the events are not firing correctly.

I have put together a JSBin explaining the issue that I'm now facing.

If you remove the 4 from the first date picker, then tab to the next field, no validation occurs. If you then re-tab back into the field the validation fires successfully.

Can anyone please shed some light on this please?

Hello Jonathan,

I already answered to this query in the support thread you opened, but I will copy my response here as well:

This happens because at the time the validation rule is executed, the DatePicker's value is not yet changed. Initially, the value was a valid date, so this is why validation works the second time it is activated. You can manually parse the user input and see if it is a valid date, as seen in this updated example.
