var ctrl = Runner.getControl(pageid, 'make');
var vRes = ctrl.validate();
if ( !vRes.result ) {
  var message = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < ctrl.validationArr.length ; i++) {
      if ( vRes.messagesData[ ctrl.validationArr[i] ] ) {    
           message += vRes.messagesData[ ctrl.validationArr[i] ].join(" ");
       }
   }
   
   alert( message );
}
