Compare Validator - fires before text entered is completed

[Guest]

Hi All!

I have a password textbox and a verify password textbox. I threw in the
compare validator to make sure both values agree. I noticed, however, that
immediately the compare validator displays the error message before all the
typing is completed in the "verify password" textbox. How do I get the
compare to fire only when a person has completed the textbox?

Hi Sandy,

Exactly how have you set up your validator? And your textboxes? I
cannot get the validator to fire instantly, I have to focus out of the
second textbox. Could you provide more details?

HTH,

Michel

Hi Michael!

Thanks for getting back to me.

The textboxes of interest, txtPassword and txtRepeatPassword are both
located in a table; one beneath the other. In a col on the side of
txtRepeatPassword is the compare validator - cvComparePwd.

The properties in the cvComparePwd are:
Oh -- woops! I just realized as I was typing this that I have the
Control to Compare and the Control to Validate switched.

Thanks for answering me, though. My mistake was not apparent to me until I
started answering you back via typing!!



Control to Compare: txtRepeatPassword
Control to Validate: txtPassword
