MVC :: Disabling Client Side Validation On Submit Button?
Feb 9, 2010
For the release of Microsoft MVC 2.0 RC2, can someone go into further detail on the following BUG/FIX: You can now programmatically disable client validation for a submit button (an input elements whose type attribute is set to "submit") even if the button does not have its name attribute set, whereas before it required the name attribute.Does this apply to the HTML Helper Submit Button or the input submit button? How would I disable client validation for a submit button? I tried using the htmlAttribute causesvalidation="false" on a HTML Helper Submit button and it did not work.
want to know that can we validate a control which is out side a form element in asp.net(server side validation)and outside a form element in html(client side validation) let's take a closer look
I have a text box in which I want only digits (either decimal or whole numbers). I have applied Required Field Validator and Regular Expression Validator on it.I have an Image Button, by clicking on which, I want this validation to be performed. But when I build the code, and clicks on Image Button, these validators do not work and I am redirected to the server side method of Image Button and after completing the execution of server side method, control comes to these validators and client side validation executes.I am fed up by finding solutions on Google and unable to find any solution.Please tell me of anyone of you know the solution that why server side code is running first and client side validation is executing after server side code execution.
I have a webform that has a lot of controls and a submit button. When a user submits clean data, there is an asp.net label control that displays a "form submitted successfully" message. My problem is that after this successful submission, if the same user enters some invalid value for some fields on the same form and clicks on the submit button, the page still displays the success message along with the asp.net error message for that field (By using the asp.net validation control). My question is how do I get rid of the success message in this scenario? (In this case all I want to display is the client side validation error message). I am not that familiar with javascript.
Here is the markup for the label and button .I tried calling a javascript function on the OnClick event .This disables the success message, but the validation error messages are displayed after a post back.I want to display the validation error messages without a post back.
I'm interested in identifying a means to verify the server-side validation is performing as expected, but need to bypass the client-side validation being done using ASP.NET validation controls. To test this, I've tried using the form Poster add-on to Firefox that allowed me to get/modify the page contents and post it, but the .NET framework interpreted the submission as harmful and threw an application error ("A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client").I've created a WinForm that includes a WebBrowser control and I'm able to manipulate the contents of the web page and invoke the button click, but am interested in seeing how to allow a postback with invalid input values. I don't want to assume the server-side validation works (even though I do check if Page.IsValid on the server on postback).This submits the web form in the WebBrowseer control and the expected client-side validation fires: extendedWebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(formButtonName).InvokeMember("click"); This is how I've manipulated some of the page contents (this just prevents submission): mshtml.IHTMLDocument2 doc = extendedWebBrowser1.Document.DomDocument as mshtml.IHTMLDocument2; string html = doc.body.innerHTML; html.Replace("Page_ValidationActive = false", "Page_ValidationActive = true"); doc.body.innerHTML = html.ToString(); extendedWebBrowser1.Document.GetElementById(formButtonName).InvokeMember("click");
I'm working on an ASP.NET application. Currently when the user clicks "Save" on an item, we disable the Save button, change its text to "Saving..." and so on. This works fine, because the button causes a postback which results in a new page being loaded, on which the Save button is no longer disabled.
We now want to apply this to other actions: Publish (not much different from Save), Import (again, much like Save, but based on data the user has uploaded in a previous step), Export (downloads an XML file to the user) etc.
Export is causing me problems - the button stays disabled. I think this is because the server sends back an XML file rather than a new web page, and so the browser just displays the same page.
a way of making the server send a fresh page back in the response as well as the XML, thus re-enablnig the button in the same manner that the other pages do, ora way of getting the browser/JS to re-enable the button once the file has been sent.
n a form I have multiple group of controls which are grouped using validation group property. I want to assign validation group to asp.Button dynamically on client side using javascript on the base of item selected in drop down list.
Here is JavaScript which I am using, but it is not working. It shows validation group undefined but actually a default group is defined.
<script type="text/JavaScript"> function NextClicked() { var _ddlStatus = document.getElementById("<%=ddl.ClientID%>"); var _selectedIndex = _ddlStatus.selectedIndex; var _btn = document.getElementById("<%=btnNext.ClientID%>");
alert(_btn.ValidationGroup); // here in messge it shows undefiend, yet I have defiend a group in button as default.
if (_selectedIndex == 1) { _btn.ValidationGroup = "G1"; } if (_selectedIndex == 2) { _btn.ValidationGroup = "G2"; } }
The following code is being used to disable a Submit button once it has been clicked. This works great on desktop browsers and most BlackBerry mobile browsers.
when using a BlackBerry Storm clicking the submit button causes the device to just reload the page. If I remove this code the Storm browser submits the page just fine. I need to disable the button when the browser is capable of doing so but do not want to affect browsers that are not JavaScript capable.
If I enable client side validation in the view I'll get the error per the Attributes from the metadata class. If I take clientside validation out, error gets thrown from saving to the DB rather than return the view with an Error Summary.
This is the top portion of my view....
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%> <%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>
I've tried running without debugging (ctrl + f5) in debug and release mode as well as setting breakpoints and Debugging (f5) but it just seems weird to get Client side validation without server side validation. What am I missing here?
if in the code behind, I set the label to "You must enter a value if the textbox is empty" to validate it on the server side and this is fine, but if javascript is enabled, I don't want to show the client side validation and the server side label together. Is this something where I would just have to disable the client-side validators if javascript was enabled?
I'd like to implement ajax message box that will gather information from validators on a page when client-side validation fires. Like: I have left some text fields blank then press submit button and appropriate RequiredFieldValidators show messages. I would like my message box shows those messages too. I am looking for appropriate way to hook on validators JS event or something.
I have a website in ASP.NET (WebForms, NOT MVC) which has a survey form divided in several slides. Each slide has a next button that, obviously does a transition (client-side, not post back or remote request) to the next slide.In each slide I have several ASP.NET controls with their related validators. I want this validators to be triggered when I click the next button (or maybe when each input loses focus?).
I remembered ASP.NET doing client side validation on lost focus, but maybe I'm wrong... (I quit doing ASP.NET development about 3 years now, so I can't remember)UPDATE: It would be better to make ASP.NET trigger each validator when the associated control lost focus. I remember ASP.NET doing this (or am I dreaming? =P)
I use the oob client side validation from mvc 2 RC. The input field validation errors are working fine. But the validation summary is missing. How to get the validation summary on client side validation?
When i use Validator callout extender and as well both client side java script validation , both are not working at a same time.I use java script code for dynamic checkboxes to be atleast one checkbox must be checked.When i use onclient click only javascript validations are fired, when use onclick function javascript code is not working.
I have in the fact copied the code of Login page in the ASP.NET MVC application template (provided with VS). In the original template, client side validation is working but when I copy all the connected code I get only server side validation (no red fields, post back even if data are incorrect).
public class LogOnModel { [Required] [Display(Name = "User name")] public string UserName { get; set; } [Required] [DataType(DataType.Password)] [Display(Name = "Password")] public string Password { get; set; } [code]...
I have tried everything to get client-side validation to work in MVC2 RC, but have been completely unsuccessful. Server-side validation works just fine, but client-side never fires. I have grabbed
[Code]....
from the futures source, since it wasn't included in RC. Unfortunately, that's the only script that people agree is necessary for everything to work. Besides that, nobody seems to know which other specific js scripts are needed. The candidates are (jquery-1.3.2.js, jquery.validate.js, MicrosoftMvcAjax.js, MicrosoftMvcJQueryValidation.js). I've tried every permutation of these and other scripts to no avail.
Html.EnableClientValidation() has been included before BeginForm, and the JSON validation data appears to be correctly written into the source of the page. But, again, client-side validation never fires.
I have number of fields in the view, which I am dynamically showing/hiding on the client side using jQuery e.g, if user enter 'abc' in first field, I will show three more fields and if he enters 'xyz' then I will show only single field.
I am using data annotations based Asp.Net MVC 2 validation (MVC 2 RTM) and the requirement is that only visible fields should be validated. I have added some code on the server side and the partial validation is working fine there but the issue is on the client side. Actually it works fine first time but fails after wards.
Here is what I am doing:
In $(document).ready event I am popping all the validation stuff in the array as shown below:
for (i = 0; i < numOfFields; i++) { fValidationArrL[i] = window.mvcClientValidationMetadata[0].Fields.pop(); }
When I show/hide the fields I push only those fields which are visible like this:
It works fine first time but second time when I do show/hide again, it appends the validation list instead of replacing it. So at the end it will validate all the fields that I have shown to the user at some point of time.
I have MaskedEditValidator, which set u pt ovalidate datetime entry into text box. After that the button (html button input control )is pressed in order to start some process. Button is running the client side function (JavaScript).
Now in case of wrong input validator shows proper message, but how I can prevent button to be pressed and start the process. I.e. is it possible to check on client side the status of the validation?
I have a problem of Validation still present for list object that have been dynamically deleted in the View. Here is the scenario. In my model I have a list. This list can be added and deleted dynamically in create and edit views. Lets say I am in the create view. I add two list objects dynamically and start filing the object and submit the form. The model validation fails in the server side (client side validation cannot be done as it involes some complex logic) because of some errors. Now the errors are being disaplayed for the two objects. Now I delete the first list object dynamically and correct the errors in the second list object and try to submit but the form will not submit because, the client side validation still thinks that the first list object is still present. Is there anyway to remove the client validation for objects that have been removed dynamically ?
My model
Contact.cs:
public class contact{ public List<Address> address; }
Steps for the problem.
1. Create two addresses in the create view.
2. Fill the fields and click submit.
3. Server side Model validation will report errors for fields.
4. Delete the first Address and correct the errors in the second object and click submit.
5. Submit will not work because the client side validation expects the errors to be corrected in the first Address which has been deleted.
I have a wizard style MVC 2.0 application, when I move forward I want client side validation to kick in and validate the form, but when I hit the back button I want the data entered by the user posted back to the server so I can save what they have entered, but without any client validation.
Is it possible to do client side validation on a detailsview (insert or edit) without using validation controls? I.E. somehow capture the onClientClick event of the autogenerated Insert/Update link buttons to call my javascript function?
