    How does the validation "work" in that what happens when I setup validation on a form element.

    When you call validate() it loops though all required inputs in that form and runs every rule on each of them?...or does it run on every input in that form.

    So then if the rules run per input (seems like this from the demo) can you not setup a global rule that says something like "Count all checked checkboxes on the page and make sure the count is greater than 10"

    Does that make sense?

    Hi Steve,

    Indeed, the validation rules are executed for all of the input elements within the container to which the Kendo Validator is attached.

    Ok, followup

    1) Just for inputs marked REQURIED (yes right?)
    2) Is there no way to set a global rule to just check something once and if it fails, have the validation fail into a summary message?

    Steve,

    No, as I have mentioned in my previous message, the validation rules are executed for all of the input elements within the container. If a rule fails for the given input, the remaining rules for this input element are not executed, and the validation process the next input element.

    But why would I want a checkbox validation to run for a radiobutton?

    What if I wanted to have something that's not "validating an input" but like I said is a larger validation like Select at least 6 of 12 checkboxes.

    Hello Steve,

    Our Validator is target through a more granular level (per element) of validation. However, you may achieve such functionality by using similar to the rule demonstrated in this test page.
