Error Tooltip showing up in the picker?

[sitefinitysteve]

The input renders out with required, then it gets the datepicker applied, then on click, the validation gets called

...am I doing something wrong with it?

Hi Steve,

This is expected behavior, by default the validation message element will be placed directly after the validated input. Thus, when a widget such as ComboBox, DropDownList, DatePicker etc. is used, you should specify where the message to appear by placing a separate span element with data-for attribute set to the validated input name and a class .k-invalid-msg. As shown in this online demo (note the AutoComplete widget) and as described in the documentation under Initialize Kendo Validator with specific tooltip position section.

All the best,

Yeah I saw that...but it doesn't seem to work...I cant replicate in a fiddle, but its clearly gimpy

Have a peek: http://screencast.com/t/3zpskLnS

The markup is exactly as what's in the demo...<input><span>

This is a better video creating it in firebug...

Steve,

As I have already described and as mentioned in the documentation the data-for attribute should be set to the validated input name. However, looking at the provided jsFiddle, the input from which the widget  is created, does not even have a name attribute set.

All the best,

Oh my apologies, I missed it being for->name, I was thinking for->ID

Thanks Rosen

Could we not just update the validation logic so it knows that this is a kendo decorated control and then it can put it's span in the appropriate spot itself?

This is becoming really annoying to use in asp.net with the dynamic names it makes
