How To Prevent A Page To Jump To Top Position After Failed Validation

Apr 10, 2010

I have a simple aspx page with a few TextBoxes and a submit button. Some fields are required and below the button is a ValidationSummary. The complete form is larger than screen height so one has to scroll down to reach the submit button. If I don't fill all required fields and click on submit validation fails as expected and the validation summary displays some info messages below the button. Validation happens on the client and no postback occurs.

So this all works as wished. But disturbing is that the page moves ("jumps") to top position when I click on the submit button. To see the validation summary one has to move down the page again.

I've tried to set the ShowSummary property to false (which doesn't make much sense): The validation still works (no postback) but in this case the page does not move to top position. So the problem seems to depend on rendering the validation texts.

Is there a way to prevent this page jump?

Update:
The behaviour I described above doesn't seem to be browser dependent. I've tested in five different browsers and it's everywhere the same.

Web Forms :: Use Javascript To Position Cursor Or Jump To Textbox

Aug 24, 2010

I have a custom user control that contains within it a repeater control. Inside this repeater I programmatically add another custom user control, which contains a text box and a custom validator. This final custom user control can be added any number of times depending on the application's logic. All of this is part of a wizard step. When the user completes the step, if any of the data added to the text boxes is incorrect the validator gets fired on post back. However, because I can have any number of these controls added to the repeater, the user has to scroll down to see any of the incorrectly completed boxes.

Due to the controls being added dynamically it is not possible to use a validation summary control - I have tried!!! Therefore, is there away I can use JavaScript to position a cursor or to jump to each incorrectly completed textbox without the user needing to scroll down the page? For example, if there are 10 textboxes, and textboxes 8 and 9 have numbers inside them inside strings, then the JavaScript should jump textbox 9.

The problem I have: if the errors happen at the top portion of the page when Submit buttons are clicked, the forms do not scroll to the top automatically, the users have to scroll up to see the ValidatorCalloutExtender.

C# - Validation Of Viewstate MAC Failed While Submit A Form On Page Load?

Jan 14, 2011

I have a sample page called Redirect.aspx with following content;

<body onload="document.forms.container.submit()">
<form id="container" runat="server" method="post" name="container">
<input type="hidden" value="<%=Request["APP_ID"]%>" name="APP_ID" />
</form>
</body>

the Page_Load method is following:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
container.Action = Configuration.Instance.PageToRedirect;
}

To this Redirect.aspx page, I'm directed from some external page. In the request context, I have APP_ID key, which is passed from this external page. Next, I want to pass this APP_ID value using POST to some other page, which is defined in the configuration. Unfortunately, I'm getting such error while redirecting:

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

I don't want to disable view state validation (<pages enableViewStateMac="false">) because this is not the "solution" I want to apply.

Besides I don't understand why I'm getting such an error. Can someone get me through this ? Is there any other way to automatically submit a form on Page_Load event ?

C# - Validation Of ViewState MAC Failed?

Nov 9, 2010

After changing the Master Page in ASP.NET MVC 1.0 application, I keep getting this familiar error when I try a postback without filling in the mandatory form elements which are validated by the server:

"Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster."

The new page refers to a lot of jQuery code with lightboxes, superfish etc. Could that be a problem while doing a postback?

If I revert back to the original master, the error disappears and I'm able to validate form fields. Both masters are located in the same path.

After a little debugging, I've realized that a directive in the master page:

<% Html.RenderAction("menu", "nav"); %>

is creating the problem. The directive asks the "menu" action of the controller "nav" to inject a partial view Menu.ascx. If I delete this line from the new master page, everything works OK. My app's left bar navigation relies on this directive to work properly. Is there any way I can get around this?

Web Forms :: Prevent Enter From Causing Validation?

Aug 3, 2010

I have an HTML text box and button:

<input type='text' onkeypress='onEnter(this, event);' />
<input type='button' />

This works fine (when you push enter, another function is called) unless the page has a FormView control on it.

In this case, pushing Enter in the textbox above attempts to validate the form on the page. It will still correctly call the onEnter function, but I need the Enter keypress to not cause Validation of any other forms on this page.

All input fields in the FormView are part of a ValidationGroup, but this doesn't seem to affect anything.

What is the best way to keep the .Net validation from happening when I push Enter in my HTML textbox?

Validation Of Viewstate MAC Failed - How To Avoid It

Jan 25, 2010

I know this is a very common problem and a quick search in google offers a lot of solutions. However I could only find one person that came across it in the same way I am and no-one answered their question.

The scenario which causes this is if the page has been left dormant for a period of time and then a button is pressed which runs some sort of command. This might be pressing the logout button or trying to submit a contact form after having walked away at some point and then returning and hitting Send.

I do not have posts or actions in my form, it looks like this: <form id="form1" runat="server">

I have also added the following line to my web.config: <pages enableEventValidation="false" iewStateEncryptionMode="Never">

this avoids a MAC error

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

I add this to webconfig and it works

<pages validateRequest="false" enableEventValidation="false" viewStateEncryptionMode="Never" enableViewStateMac="false">

why does it work and what an earth is this error as it makes no sense to me. it is to do with sessions.

Error - Validation Of Viewstate MAC Failed

Jul 14, 2011

I don't know what is causing this. The weird thing is, eventually, it goes away (as in, i get to see the web application form), BUT my web app does not work properly. I have image buttons that are not showing the image that I set at imageButton.ImageUrl. It works fine when I run it on my local machine (IIS), but when I try it on one of those free hosting sites, it will go as far as showing the interface (which has the image buttons), but when I click, it suppose to be set with an image.

btw, the first aspx page contains a ListView control, then after clicking on a button in that page, it goes to another page that contains a bunch of imagebuttons and an ajax timer control. I get the " Validation of viewstate MAC failed" error AFTER clicking on the button (in the ListView page).

If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster. URL...

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.URL...

Source Error:

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

How To Prevent Loading Of Data When Postback Fails Validation

Feb 5, 2010

I'm trying to prevent data from loading on the page when its needed.

Currently, I check the IsPostBack bool to prevent loading data in my user controls which allows the data to be loaded when the page is initially requested.

However, if my page fails validation and the page is sent back to the user with error messages, my user controls no longer have data in them because the initial request was a postback.

One solution is to have a flag in every user control (IsFailedPostBack) to force them to reload their data. Is there a better way?
