Validation Controls

[Stephen]

Hi scott,
thanks for the reply but the required field validator does not work "as
required" in netscape.

suppose i have a text box and a required field validator, when I hit the
"button" in IE, the required field validator captures it and only when I
enter some value, it uses "Response.redirect to another page"

but in Netscape, it just redirects when I hit the button.

Please Advice,
stephen.

Stephen,
Client-side validation doesn't work in netscape. In your button's click
event code add this:

Page.Validate()
If Page.IsValid THEN
... 'PUT YOUR CODE HERE
end if

This will allow client-side validation to work when enabled (in IE) and do
server-side validation when not enabled (in mozilla).

I have written a set of validator controls that work in almost all browsers.
There are also commercial validator controls (I think Peter Blum has done
some) which are very good but obviously cost money. My control are located
here http://aspalliance.com/glav/downloads/domvalidators.zip and are
totally, with source code.

Paul, I'll take a look, but do your controls support grouping validations so
that button A will only fire group A and button B will only fire group B? I
ask because that's a question we get a lot around here, and I typically
point people to commercial products (since those are the only ones I've
found)..

Cheers,
Karl

No they dont. They come with full source so you could add it easily enough,
but its all extra work.
