Validator on large number of radio inputs

[Lovro]

Hello,

the problem is validator is really slow(beacuse i have about 400 radio inputs - 130 radio button groups). Here is the code of the custom rule of the validator:

$("#testWizard").kendoValidator({

        rules: {

            radio: function (input) {
                     //if type radio and required attribute on the input

                if (input.is("[type=radio]") && input.attr("required")) {
                          //check if any radio button is selected from the radio button group

                    return $("#testWizard").find("[name=" + input.attr("name") + "]").is(":checked");

                }

                return true;

            }

        },

        messages: {

            radio: "Choose one of the items"

        }

    });

The best solution would be that validation code breaks when the first validation error is found. But i don't know how to achieve this.
Maybe any other suggestions?

Thanks

Hello Lovro,

The performance that you see is somewhat expected. Going through your form with 400+ DOM elements is a slow process in general and I am afraid that no optimization could be made.

As for the breaking when the error is found - currently there is not such feature, the Kendo UI Validator, work for all elements in the container, so it will show all the errors for every single fields that fails the validation.
