Kendo Validator and Valid HTML

[Richard]

I'm using the validator for a web site that needs to be verifiably valid HTML. However, the validationMessage attribute causes a failure in the following:

<input type="text" id="Name" class="k-textbox" required validationmessage="Please enter your name" />

Is there a way to make this control use valid HTML?

Hello,

You can use the data-required-msg instead of validationMessage. It seems the latter is supported by all browsers that have built-in HTML5 validation support however is not yet part of the HTML5 specification (it is available only as a readonly DOM attribute).

<input type="text" id="Name" class="k-textbox" required data-required-msg="Please enter your name" />

That did the trick, thanks :)
