Validators - How to enable/disable validation of Control A on the client side based on the input from Control B
Hello,
I've come across the problem when I wanted to use client side validation (no matter of which type) depending on the input from a different control.
The scenario is: I have two textboxes A and B. A does not need to be validated (no validator associated with A). The textbox B has to be validated if and only if the A has any value.
I know this is trivial with custom validator in the server side mode... But unfortunately I want it to run the validation on the client side. And I also know that I can write a javascript function for the ClientValidationFunction and hardcode client id of the parent control - that's not a problem, but that is not the cleanest solution...
I have already started building my custom validator control, but maybe the solution is much simpler than I think.
Do you have any idea?

Hey..In order to execute the input validation in a controlled manner, try defining different validation group for different set of validators and the buttons accordingly. For example, say Textbox A has validation group "A" and TextBoxB has validation group "B" and your button "Button1" has validation group "A" defined. Now, the button click will validate only those validation with validation group of "A"...got it?

ziyad Hi Ziyad,
To be more precise: I need the validation to be triggered by one button.
I know how validation groups work, but I do not see the solution using them in my case, because there is only one validation group here.
The TextBox A does not need to be validated, but only the TextBox B when the TextBox A has any value.
The tricky thing is when I click the button, my validation should only be done when I have a value in the "parent" control and it has to be done on the client side. As I mentioned before, I can do it using custom validator and javascript, but I was looking for something simpler and more clean. I have no idea if this can be done in the vanilla version of the .net 2.0 framework...

fafar Okay,
I am going to describe what I would like to do in more understable way:
In my case I have a choice of creating one or two database records in two separate tables. One record would consist of contact info and the optional second one - user account related data.
I would like to create a user account only if a username is provided in the textbox A. And if the username in the textbox A is not an empty string then I would like to make password field - TextBox B required.
If they are both empty I do not want to create a user account.
I would like this to be evaluated on the client side...
I appreciate any suggestion!

fafar Then my answer is you have to disable the validator from javascript. There is a better way to disable the validator in javascript using the following function and the flip side is it will work only in IE
ValidatorEnable(<Validator Name>, <boolean - true or false>);
Hence, in your javascript, you can check the text length of username and then enable /disable the validators accordingly...

Validation Controls in .NET ( Client side or server side?)
i have a very basic question. We have all these validation controls in asp.net ( required field, range validator and others)..my question is the required field validator is a server side control. So does that mean that it does a post back?..is it client side or server side control The only controls that post back are buttons and other inputs where you set AutoPostback="True", such as a dropdownlist or a textbox. Another way of posting back is using an UpdatePanel and placing a trigger in it for a specified control and/or event. All controls are considered clien...
validation, is it better to have client side or use server side validator controls
Hi All. I want to do validation on text boxes etc. Is it better to do client side validation or just use the server side validation controls? Hi! If for server side controls you mean RequiredFieldValidator, CompareValidator, RegularExpressionValidator, etc.. i can tell you that they use client and server validation. For instance if you use a RequiredFieldValidator, on the client will be a validation, but on the server this condition will be evaluated again. Probably one of the objetives of this is deal with client with javascript disabled. Of course I ...
Client Side Validation For Custom Controls / Validators
Hi there people, I'm creating my own set of self validating text boxes. They all inherit from a base text box which simply contains a required field validator, they then usuallly implement another validator to check they contain number, currencies, dates or whatever. The problem i'm having is with the DateTextBox, I have created my own Date Validator which inherits from the BaseValidator class which the DateTextBox uses. My problem is that no validation is taking place on the client side. I've included the code for all related parts, if you need anymore info then please just let me k...

Part 2
Thanks to the help of this forum I solved my previous problem of adding client side validation to my date validator class. Though I found an interesting feature with it. To give some background I'm creating selfvalidating text boxes, one for date's, another for currency etc... Each textbox class inherits from a base textbox class which is simply a textbox with a RequiredFieldValidator bolted on. This way I can allow blanks (or not). Now with most of my textboxes I simply inherit from my base textbox class and then add another validator - eg in my number textbox I add a RegularExpre...
Enable/Disable validation control client side
Hello - I was wondering if it possible to disable or enable a validation control through javascript alone. Basically, I have a check box. If the user ticks it, I then require them to fill in a text box. So, ideally, I'd have a requiredFieldValidator for the test box that would only be enabled when the user clicks the text box. Thing is - I'd rather do that without having to post back to the server to disable or enable the validation control.. Any ideas??

Creating a User Control validator that validates a control on the page, rather than inside the control.
I'm trying to create a custom user control that is nothing more than a RangeValidator that validates other controls that lie on the page rather than inside the control itself... is this possible, is there a way to "bubble" it up. Thanks, G My answer to your other question regarding the CompareValidator applies here. If the custom control is in the same naming container AND does not implement INamingContainer, you can create a property that lets the user assign the control to validate. Internally assign the Validator.ControlToValidate property to the value of that property.-...

Validation control not doing server side validation?
I think the subject covers what I'm asking. I want to run some checks on the data that was entered after the page was submitted, but I don't know how to handle it if there's a problem the user has to go back and fix. So I thought I'd try to work around the validation control to see how .NET handles it. I have a text field that is required. When the submit button is clicked, I assume some client side validation is run. I get the validation message I want and the form won't submit. But then I made a change in the on click event of the submit butto...
Validation of a control based on input of another control using requiredfieldvalidators
Hi I have a form that has two checkboxes and 6 textboxes. If the first checkbox is checked then I have to validate the first 3 textboxes. If the 2nd checkbox is checked then the other 3. I want to perform this using required field validators. Can anyone give me an idea on how I can do this? Thanks in Advance Regards Harihar Hi, If you want to do this in the normal and easy flow then on the click of the check box you have to post back the page and disable the non required field validators. But I think you should go for some javascript so that you will not be required to ...
