JScript error with validators inside UpdatePanel

J

J055

Hi

I get a JScript error when I remove a control with a RequiredFieldValidator
during partial page update and then hit a form button with
CausesValidation=true. The button is outside the UpdatePanel which contains
the validators although it still seems to happen if I put the button inside
another UpdatePanel.

The client call stack is:
ValidatorGetValue JScript
Click to expand...
RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid JScript
ValidatorValidate JScript
Page_ClientValidate JScript
WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions JScript
Sys$WebForms$PageRequestManager$_doPostBackWithOptions JScript
JScript anonymous function JScript
JScript - aspnetForm onclick function JScript

This function fails because the control field is null.
function ValidatorGetValue(id) {
var control;
control = document.getElementById(id);
if (typeof(control.value) == "string") {
return control.value;
}
return ValidatorGetValueRecursive(control);
}

What should I do to avoid this happening?

Thanks
Andrew

Hello Andrew,

Did you use updated versions of the validators that are compatible with
UpdatePanel? Please check the following link:

If it's still not working, please post your code or source code files to me
if you don't mind. (My Email is (e-mail address removed))

if the validator is outside the update panel, you will need to render
javascript to disable the validator (as it will not know the control was
removed). when you remove the control you can check if its an async
postback and render a startup script via scriptmanager to do the disable.

Hello Andrew,

If you used FrameWork 3.5, it should be working in UpdatePanel.
In this scenario, it throws the "null" error since ValidatorGetValue can't
find the Target Control. I guess the Target Control was removed but
Validator control was still working. Thus it can't find the Target Control
which has been removed, so it throws the error.

If this is what you encountered, please disable the Validator while you
remove the Target Control as Bruce said.

function pageLoad() {
ValidatorEnable($get('RequiredFieldValidator1'), false); // Use
JavaScript to disable Validator.
}

Moreover, I'm not clear about how you remoeved them. Did you use the
following code to remove these both controls?

UpdatePanel1.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Remove(TextBox1);

UpdatePanel1.ContentTemplateContainer.Controls.Remove(RequiredFieldValidator
1);


If the above all can't help you out, please send me your demo/smample so
that I can reproduct the problem in my site?

Hi there

Thanks for all your help. I've decided to disable client-side validation for
the moment. I'll have another look at this in the near future.
