Description

Hello. I am trying to figure out how to use QTip2 with the Knockout Validation plugin. The best example I could find was at:

http://jsfiddle.net/madcapnmckay/hfcj7/

This solution seems very awkward. It appears as though you need to use a custom binding on EVERY form field you want validated with the qtip plugin.

Is there a way to override the default Validation Plugin showAllMessages() function to use qtip instead of the build-in display mechanism?

It would seem that custom error messages, styling, and behavior should be a simple thing to do. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Research direction

Start with the Knockout Validation showAllMessages() entry point and compare it with the linked jsfiddle example using QTip2 and Knockout Validation. Determine whether the default display mechanism can be overridden without custom bindings on every field, and document the supported integration approach or its limitations.
