I have scoured the forums and following all of the instructions to try to get the DropDownlist to properly behave. What I am doing is using a wizard (in Jquery) form and each time the next button is called the following code is hit:
if (wizardForm.valid()) {// validate the form
wizardForm.validate().focusInvalid();
.............}
The problem is when I change the ignore option to "", from ignore: ":hidden" the validation looks like it is successful and without validation errors however the next button does not advance to the next page.
I have also tried the example from the "KendoInputs_Validation" project but that does not work at all in Visual Studio.
