Required validation not fireing client-side

[Mattias]

Hi,
I have a box:

@(Html.Kendo().NumericTextBoxFor(m => m.FilterParticipants).Format("n0").Min(1).Decimals(0))

with a required attribute:

[Required(ErrorMessageResourceName = "ValidationRequired", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Global))]
//[Min(1, ErrorMessageResourceName = "ValidationRequired", ErrorMessageResourceType = typeof(Resources.Global))]
public int FilterParticipants { get; set; }

and if I clear the box I can still submit the form.
But: I also have a datepicker in the form and if I clear that control and tries to submit, then the validation fires (on both controls).

Regards,
Mattias

Hello,

A problem with the NumericTextBox validation might occur if you are using the jQuery validation because by default it skips hidden inputs. If that is the case, you should override the validator default settings:

$.validator.setDefaults({
    ignore: ""
});

Kind regards,
