### Can I validate multiple Checkbox?
Yes, you can do it by using `validation-group`
```html
<div class="row">
<div class="checkbox">
<label for="checkbox1">
<input id="checkbox1" type="checkbox" name="checkBlur1" ng-model="form5.check1" validator="required" validation-group="checkBlur"/>
Checkbox 1
</label>
</div>
<div class="checkbox">
<label for="checkbox2">
<input id="checkbox2" type="checkbox" name="checkBlur2" ng-model="form5.check2" validator="required" validation-group="checkBlur"/>
Checkbox 2
</label>
</div>
</div>
<span id="checkBlur"></span>
```
### Can I validate the form when init ? [#10](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/issues/10)###
```html
<form name="Form">
<input type="text" name="number" ng-model="form.number" validator="number"/>
<button id="button1111" ng-click="form.submit(Form)">Show</button>
</form>
```
```javascript
$timeout(function () { // call $timeout to make sure the Form Constructor is generated
$validationProvider.validate($scope.Form); // $scope.Form is html form name `Form Constructor`
});
```
### What's the differentiate between validator-method `submit` and `submit-only`[#4](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/issues/4)###
`submit` : when user click submit, then start watching using `watch` to validate<br/>
`submit-only` : when user click `submit`, doesn't validate through `watch` until `submit` button is clicked.
### Use checkValid() manually [#19](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/issues/19)###
Before using `checkValid()`, you have to execute `submit` first to get the latest result.
### How do we do tooltips for error messages upon focusing? [#68](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/issues/68#issuecomment-86445467)
Using `validCallback` and `invalidCallback` to implement
### Can this works correctly with AngularUI, ui-select, others ... ?###
Yes, `angular-validation` works perfectly with other directive. (isolation scope). Find out more from the demo page.
### Working with `ng-submit` and submitting with enter, not click [#247](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/issues/247)###
As per plnkr - https://plnkr.co/edit/nwTEuxuTMmpEc4hrFwGp?p=preview
Add checkValid and submit into both ng-click and ng-submit
```
<form name="formName" ng-submit="form.submit(formName)" role="form">
...
<button type="button" validation-submit="formName" ng-click="form.checkValid(formName) && form.submit(formName)">Submit</button>
</form>
```
### Can I validate $modelValue instead of a $viewValue? [#272](https://github.com/hueitan/angular-validation/pull/272)###
Yes, adding `use-view-value="false"` attribute forces to use $modelValue instead of a $viewValue for evaluation when form is submitted. By default $viewValue is used. This need raises from a need of localized number inputs, which have to be stored in a $viewValue as a string (e.g. "2 000,0"), however in a $modelValue they are stored as a properly formatted number (2000). This can be done e.g. by using a custom directive with properly specified $formatters and $parsers.
```html
<div class="checkbox">
<label for="my-localized-input">
<input id="my-localized-input"
type="text"
name="myLocalizedInput"
ng-model="model.num"
my-localization-directive
validator="required"
use-view-value="false"/>
</label>
</div>
```
