Form field with validation still lets user submit form with empty value...
I have a text box that a user is to enter a quantity. I have validation working so that they have to enter an integer, however, the form will still submit if the text box for quantity is left blank. The field isn't required, so how do I check to make sure that the user doesn't submit a blank value on top of making sure they enter an integer? This is what I have so far...
<
asp:TextBox ID="SpclBioQty" runat="server" Columns="5" Width="33px"></asp:TextBox><asp:CompareValidator ID="SpclBioQtyValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="*Data must be a number" ControlToValidate="SpclBioQty" Type="Integer" Operator="DataTypeCheck"></
asp:CompareValidator>

mohanbrij Changed my code to this (staight out of my asp.net 3.5 book) and it still lets the form submit with an empty value... however, if I try to enter -2, it does catch that this value is less than zero. What am I missing?
<
asp:TextBox ID="PocketFolderQty" runat="server" Columns="5" Width="33px"></asp:TextBox><asp:CompareValidator ID="PocketFolderQtyValidator" runat="server" ErrorMessage="*" ControlToValidate="PocketFolderQty" Operator="GreaterThan"ValueToCompare="0"> </asp:CompareValidator>

funluckykitty From http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/db330ayw(VS.71).aspx
Note If the input control is empty, no validation functions are called and validation succeeds. Use a RequiredFieldValidator control to prevent the user from skipping an input control.

NC01 Argh... well, at least I understand now. My silly book says it will work. Thank you NC01... saved me a hour of beating my head on the desk trying to figure out why. Unfortunately, the field isn't a required field, so I don't want to use a requiredfieldvalidator. So, I guess they'll be able to enter a "NULL" value if they don't enter a qty...

funluckykitty You can use javascript to overcome this issue the code will be something like below
in the code behind addButton1.Attributes.Add(
"onclick", "return func()");and in the .aspx page include the following script
<
script language="javascript">function func(){
if (document.getElementById("TextBox1").value == ''){
alert('Blank Not Allowed!')return false;}
}
</script>

vista7 Why would it necessarily have to be a required field? If you want to require a value in it, just add a RequiredFieldValidator. All that's going to do is not let them submit the page without a value there. They could just place a "0" in it, in fact you could default it to "0" if empty like this:
<asp:TextBox ID="PocketFolderQty" runat="server" Columns="5" Width="33px" onfocus="if ( this.value == '0' ) {this.value = '';}" onblur="if ( this.value.length <= 0 ) {this.value = '0';}"></asp:TextBox>
Note that I attached event handlers to the element in the HTML declaration. This will work, but will produce a compiler warning. The proper way to do this for a server control is in the Page_Load handler of the server-side code like this:
PocketFolderQty.Attributes.Add("onfocus", "if ( this.value == '0' ) {this.value = '';}");
PocketFolderQty.Attributes.Add("onblur", "if ( this.value.length <= 0 ) {this.value = '0';}");NC...

vista7 Did you try the code that I posted? That would seem to me to be a heck of a lot more unobtrusive than validating the TextBox twice.

NC01 I just want to point out that you could possibly bypass the text box all together (never gains focus) by using a mouse which would prevent onfocus and onblur from being executed. A javascript function that executes when the button is clicked (onClick) or when a form is submitted (onSubmit) could be created that checks to see if the textbox is empty, and if so, load it with a zero (0)
If only everything was easy as “Hello World”

schwennjr vista7.. well, it doesn't throw an error anymore, but it doesn't prevent the space from inserting either. Here's my code from the code behind... did I add it wrong?
Protected Sub PocketFolderSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PocketFolderSubmit.ClickPocketFolderSubmit.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return func()")dsPocketFolderInsert.Insert()
End Sub

funluckykitty NC01 - Yes, tried it too here's my code from the code behind.. but nothing happenened when I clicked the button without entering a value
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.LoadPocketFolderQty.Attributes.Add(
"onfocus", "if ( this.value == '0' ) {this.value = '';}")PocketFolderQty.Attributes.Add(
"onblur", "if ( this.value.length <= 0 ) {this.value = '0';}")End Sub

funluckykitty All that code does is take care of when the TextBox gains or loses the focus. If you want the TextBox filled on the button click, add this to the Page_Load handler also.
Dim clickHandler As String = String.Format("if ( document.getElementById('{0}').value.length <= 0 ) {document.getElementById('{1}').value = '0';}", PocketFolderQty.ClientID, PocketFolderQty.ClientID)
Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", clickHandler)NC...

NC01 change the if condition to
if
((document.getElementById("TextBox1").value == ' ')||(document.getElementById("TextBox1").value == ''))

After form submitted, how do I get one of the submitted values to display as a label
I can never seem to get this to work the right way. I have a basic vb.net form that once a user submits, I want to display a label with the value they selected.

I basically have bind elements like: <xf:bind nodeset="./*/REPORT_FIELD_TEMP[@REPORT_FIELD_CODE='1103721']/ @TEXT" id="RT1103721" type="xsd:integer">. which is referred later in the form as: <xf:input class="OnOneLine" bind="RT1103721"&g...
How to Pass data to pop up form, allow user to add new value, pass new value back to form to do Insert
I have a grid view that shows the user the last meter readings (hours) for several generators. The meter readings need to be added daily. I would like the user to be able to select the meter record from the grid view and have a pop up javascript form open that would allow the user to enter a new meter reading. Then after I do validation, do an insert of the new reading to the database. Is that a reasonable way of doing what I want? If not, can you give me a suggestion as to how to do it differently. Thanks. Hi.. Instead of opening window to ente...

User Control Form validates parent page form ?
Hello, small problem I found after using a user control I made. The user control I made consists of a small form that I place in the footer of my application. For some reason whenever I press the submit button on the control form and there is another form on the parent page (where the control is placed) the main form gets validated and not the control form. Is there any way to specify that only the control form is to be validated ? (Client side) Thanks. When you submit the page, validation runs on ALL validators on the page. It has no idea that your controls are in a user control....
Submitting value from a hidden form field
I have a form inserting into an access database, 1 of the fields is hidden and required. When I click submit the insert fails, if I change the visible value to "true" the insert succeeds. I know this is probably really simple but I can't figure it out. If you set a controls visibility to false then it doesn't appear in the rendered HTML, therefore your hidden field won't be there at all (check the HTML source). In order to make a control still contain a value but be readonly try using the enabled property and set it to fale instead eg <asp:TextBox id="myTextB...
