validation controls

[Stephen]

Hi,

the validation controls dont work on Netscape or Mozilla and only on
Internet Explorer
why? How do i correct this problem?

Thanks

 

[Bryant Hankins]

The validation controls emit javascript that only supports IE. You would
either have to switch to serverside validation or do something complex to
override the javascript that the control emits as described here:

Stephen,

The client-side validation in ASP.NET targets the Internet Explorer DOM.
In cases where a user is using a different browser, server-side validation
will take place.

If you want client-side validation on all platforms, you can write your own
client validation scripts. Here's a sample I turned up:

I rewrote ASP.NET validation to address numerous limitations, including
DHTML-only support for client-side validation, in Professional Validation
And More (http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx).
Its 22 validators greatly expand what you can do with validation, from the
UI it offers, to the rules of validation. It helps you avoid writing custom
code and hacks that are used with Microsoft's validators.

Wow, if it's this much of a pain to support a browser other than Microsoft
IE, then why are we relying on these controls? Most of us have to support
more than MS. It's a good thing I'm also using server validation... I
think it would be easiest just to leave it at that, at least for now... I'm
running out of time.

Andrea,

The validation controls will validate on the client AND the server. If the
browser does not support client validation, the control will validate on
the server.

[Andrea Williams]

Unless I'm missing something, that is NOT happening for me! I'm had to
create the code myself to validate my fields b/c the submit was happening.
Is there something inparticular I need to do to make the validation work
from the controls?

Andrea,

That is exactly what should happen. If the client does not support
validation, validation takes place on the server.
