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 ...

form double validation- server side and client side
Hi!
I would like to make a server side validation after calling a js function that makes the client-side validation.
I do not understand couple of things:
1. Do i need a server side button or a simple HTML submit button in order to call both of the tests?
2. How do i call a server side function which is written in csharp after i finish my JS validation (the submit button is calling the JS function for validation first.)- is it possible to call it directly from a js function?
3. I know that my toolbox on asp.net contains validation controls who probably are b...
Server Side control invoking a Client Side event
I need to figure out how to get a server side control to process the "OnMouseOver" event.
Since server side controls do not have the onmouseover event associated with them, how would you make for example, a DropDownList have a "OnMouseOver" event associate with it?
The DropDownList must be server side. I guess the idea here is to set client-side events on the server-side control.
Any help will be appreciated.
You may try something like this:
In server side code
DDL1.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "javascript:alert('Hi')")

Calling a client side control event from a server side function
I would like to know how to raise an event on a client side only control from a server side function. For example, I have Button1 whose onclick is handled at the server. The logic behind the function will do 1 of 2 things, change the text of a label to indicate a problem or navigate to a new page. I cannot use redirect because i need the new page to appear inside 2 of 3 existing frames. I can manage this using an anchor on the client. All I need to do is automatically click the anchor after I post back from the Button1.click event.I tried the following line of c...

web forms with client and server side controls??
Hi,
I have a form that has client and server side controls. I have a problem in that
any client controls (textbox) within the form runat="server" can not be accessed
with client side code.
Anyone got any ideas why and what work arounds are possible.
Regards,
Graham.
once a form element is inside a <FORM> tag, you can no longer refer to it by its ID alone.
you have to refer to it by formname.elementid or document.all.elementid.
use document.getElementById(yourtextboxid) to get a ref to the element in the form. using this allows u to bypass the formn...

client side validation vs server side validation
hello
i see a web form that consists of three controls :textbox,requiredfieldvalidator that weired to the textbox and a button
