Validation on Multiple Tab strip

[Kai]

I'm using a tab strip to update a single View-model. I'm using only one form tag for my 3 tabs however the validation for all non-visible tabs doesn't fire the validation event. Is there any work around for this or is this expected behavior?

Hello Kai,

The problem could occur if you are using the jQuery validation because it ignores all not visible inputs by default. If that is the case then you can avoid the problem by overriding the default settings e.g.

<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js")"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js")"></script>
<script>
    $.validator.setDefaults({
        ignore: ""
    });

</script>
