Hi,

Maybe I just do not understand or I made some mistakes but:

When using the validator in combination with a plain MVC form, the page always posts to the server. That kinda surprised me. I assumed with the correct annotations on the model, the client side validation should occur first and the page should never do a postback when the form is invalid.

I solved that by setting the required attribute on each html input element.
It seems a little strange I have to add on both the model and in the view a required flag. Or am I missing something?


Here is my example: (attached is my project)

@model Gusto.Web.ViewModels.LoginViewModel
 
@{
    ViewBag.Title = @Resources.Resource.Login_Page_Title; 
}
 
 
<div class="form-vertical login">
    <!-- BEGIN LOGO -->
    <div class="logo">
      <h1>Bluefox</h1>
    </div>   
 
@using (Html.BeginForm(new { ReturnUrl = ViewBag.ReturnUrl }))
{
    <div id="login-form">
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
    @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
 
    <div class="status"></div>
     
    <fieldset>
        <legend>@Resources.Resource.Login_Page_Title</legend>
            <div class="control-group">           
                    @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Model.UserName, new { @class="control-label"})
                <div class="controls">   
                    @Html.EditorFor(m => m.Model.UserName, new { @required="required" })
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Model.UserName)
                </div>
            </div>
             
            <div class="control-group">           
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Model.Password)
                @Html.PasswordFor(m => m.Model.Password, new { @required="required" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Model.Password)
            </div>
            <div class="control-group">           
                @Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Model.RememberMe)
                @Html.LabelFor(m => m.Model.RememberMe, new { @class = "checkbox" })
            </div>
         
        <input type="submit" class="btn green pull-right" value="Login" id="btnSubmit" />
    </fieldset>   
    </div>
}
 
    <p>
        @Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register") @Resources.Resource.Login_Register
    </p>
</div>
 
 
 
@section Scripts {
    <script type="text/javascript">       
        $(document).ready(function () {         
 
            var validator = $("#login-form").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator"), status = $(".status");
 
            $("#btnSubmit").click(function () {
                if (validator.validate()) {
                    save();
                } else {
                    status.text("@Resources.Resource.Generic_Error_Form")
                        .removeClass("valid")
                        .addClass("invalid");
                }
            });
        });       
    </script>   
}

it seems I found the problem, 

var validator = $("form").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator"), status = $(".status");
as to 

var validator = $("#login-form").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator"), status = $(".status");
