Multiple Validators/Multiple Div tags?

Is it possible to have multiple validator initializations on different div tags?  Basically I'm wanting to do a wizard (without the use of the progress bar) and I want to validate one div tag per "next" button.

    function ShowSection2()
    {
        //validation
        var validator = $("#Section1").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator");
        if (!validator.validate())
        {
            return;
        ...

    function ShowSection3()
    {
        //validation
        var validator = $("#Section2").kendoValidator().data("kendoValidator");
        if (!validator.validate())
        {
            return;
        ...
