Web Forms :: Client Side Custom Validator Changing Textbox Values?
Mar 19, 2010
I've been working on a task to add a validator to compare the values of two text fields in a ASP.NET 1.1 application.
It uses validators already, so the best approached seemed to involve a CustomValidator. I was inspired by the following example:

I got the server side validation working - now I'm trying to add some client-side validation but I'm having a strange issue.
When I click in either of the two text fields, the value of the txtFinalGrade field is overridden to either "true" or "false". I've been having a tough time tracking down the code that's causing this. I tried using the IE Developer Toolbar to trace the script - as well as FireBug in Firefox (though this is an IE-only app) and I'm still trying to figure out what's causing this to happen.
Since I think this is a JavaScript issue, I'm posting that part of my code:
[Code]....
Anyone have ideas of things to try? Anyone have similar issues with textboxes being set to true/false when working with custom validators?
I've been trying to get a custom validator component working that ensures at least one checkbox from a checkboxlist has been checked. I've been used some code I found on dotnetjunkies.com but the client-side validation didn't work. I've been attempting to modify it to get the client-side javascript validation to work with no luck. Basically, I compile the below code into a DLL and add it to my bin folder.
I have a user control which contains a CustomValidator which is used according to whether a RadioButton is checked or not (there are several RadioButtons, I'm only showing the relevant one)
There is some client + server side validation code (the server side code does exactly the same thing and is skipped for brevity)
<script type="text/javascript"> function ValidateDateFields_Client(source, args) [code]...
There are two instances of this control in the page. When running the client side version it hits the wrong one (the version of the control which is disabled). You can see from the generated HTML both are correctly specified. I'm not sure how .NET works out which clientside function to call given they both have the same name.
[code]... Do i need to add something in to scope it? What's the best way to achieve this? If I disable the loading of the second control everything works fine.
I have a textbox in my application which has multiple validation on it e.g. RequiredFieldValidator, RegexValidation and CustomValidation. My page has several similar textboxes. So I just copy-paste and change id and controltovalidate properties and it is working.
Since similar tbxs are going to be used on another page as well, I think it would be nice to create my own custom TextBox control with built-in validation.
Here are two approaches I have found and tried:
1: Implement from IValidator perform my custom validation in Validate Method. As shown here: Self-Validating TextBox But it does not show how to implement client-side validation.
2: Create custom control that derives from TextBox and add asp.net built-in validators I need. As shown here:Custom TextBox. I tried the code and it works server/client side.
I like the first approach but don't know how to implement client-side validation. I know I need a client-side js function. I can do that. I know how to include my js file using Page.ClientScript class but don't know how to integrate all together and make it work.
I can create a UserControl or the second approach above but for now I am specifically looking to learn and implement client-side validation from custom control.
I have some problem with the custom validtor, I do validate at both client side & server side, and i have noticed that the client side code has been executed when I clicked Submit..
More details:
The page contains some Text boxes & one submit button, and all is client-server validated, the problem that when the end user selects the file path through browse control, the code will auto-fill in the file name textbox, and it gives the option to edit; The code which is doing this in the custom validtor client handler, here is the problem it is on_submit click handler, the script function has been called again....!
I have no idea if this is the correct behavior, But I don't want the script code to be executed when any server events fired... !
Assuming that I can't modify the code-behind file for a site (it's a compiled site), I've encountered a bug of mine that can only be fully fixed with a complete recompile and redeployment. Unfortunately, we are on a strict release schedule and we can't deploy for another 11 days.
The bug is that I'm doing a check on a drop down to make sure that the value that is selected isn't "-1". However, I didn't use drp.SelectedItem.Value, I used drp.Items[0].Value. Total bonehead move on my part. The bottom line is that drp.Items[0].Value is ALWAYS -1, so they page gives an error to the user stating that they need to choose an option for that drop down. Which they really have, but my bug is not letting them continue in this process.
So, I'm trying to determine if I could, client-side, replace the value of the first drp item to the actually chosen value of that drop down.
I've gotten this all to work client-side, but when the form is posted back, the value is still the value that was populated from code, meaning "-1".
I'm sure this is because the drop down is loaded and all the values are held in ViewState.
Something is wrong in ASP.NET MVC 2 on client side validation. If I have form for create records in database and all fields are required, validation is triggered only then when I write something in field and delete it. If I go to field, stay this field empty and press Tab key validation isn't triggered.
Here somebody else write about the same problem: [URL]
I've got two textboxes running server side and have their visibility turned off. I'm using a couple of ASP.NET controls which require the textboxes to exist. However, I am filling them from the code behind and would not like the user to see this. Can the user turn the visibility on and see the values entered in the text box? I tried using FireBug, and I couldn't seem to select the visibility option in order to edit it. However, I'm quite new to Firebug, so there may be another way? Or does running it server side mean that the client can't ever view the contents of the textbox?
Environment: IE7, ASP.NET 3.5 SP1, C#, IIS 7, intranet, SQL server 2008 R2 enterprise. I'm trying to implement a page with 3 pictures in it (each picture is up to 1MB, jpg format), and switch them with the next 3 each 250 milliseconds. I thought of several methods for implementation:
1. Store all the pictures in a virtual folder, then switching the src attribute of img html element by javascript, and manipulate caching by storing the next 9 pictures also as img element, but with display:none for css.
2. Store the images in a database table and than send it to the client using DIME (don't know how to do it yet).
3. Store the images in a database table and use custom http handler to retrieve the picture (don't know how to do it yet).
4. Client invocation of webservice? Which of the above results the best performance? Is there another method for caching pictures?
Is there a way to change the values for these two attributes on the client side and have it reflected on the server side after the postback. I tried it but it does not seem to work. I wanted to have one button on the page that I would delegate submits too, and assign these two arguments on the client side. Seems like not possible. Assuming there is a button named "cmd" in the form
In forms I need to do custo validations. Like if use select radio button that he is residing on current address for more than 3 than previous residance fields are optional but if he select (radio button) that he is residing on current address for less than 3 years than previous address fields should be requried. Requirment is to do these on client side.
how this can be done. Secondly can there be some way we just disable a validation group and all validations in this group may be turned to disabl ?
I have a custom control which I need to be able to operate with the validation controls available within asp.net. I would like the message to be shown to the user client-side so as not having to wait for a postback each time.I have the ValidationPropertyAttribute("value") set at the top of the control. However it is still being completely ignored by the validation controls. I have found the following from microsoft, but I'm not sure I'm interpreting it correctly, could someoneIn order to be referenced by a validation control, a control must have a validation property. All controls that can be validated have a ValidationPropertyAttribute, which indicates which property should be read for the purposes of validation. If you write your own control, you can make it take part in validation by providing one of these attributes to specify which property to use.
I am having a page where I need to maintain around 70 to 80 hidden fields to store some values. These are required because I need these values for executing some code at the client side (validations, calculations, etc,.) in java script.
Wanted to know if there is a better way of storing these values in my page instead of using hidden controls because I guess using so many hidden controls is making my page very heavy.
Something like a hash table or list dictionay that I can access from both the server side code and clint side java script?
I have a form that contains several textboxes and each one paired with a required validator. Each box reads a value from a dataset, and on submit click, update the database with the new value. For some reason, one of the validator always returns the error message even if I enter a value in the textbox. My code is something like this.
I have Two asp.net Textbox In 1st Textbox Contain ForExample:- 3000 it may be anything,
and 2nd Textbox Will enter by user... What i need is whenever user enter below 3000 or equal to 3000 then itz ok message will display otherwise if 2nd textbox values goes to 3001.. then i need to show a message in client side itself... Plz check Quantity message...
i have tried comparefield validator with lessthenorequal itz not working...
I have a validator on a textbox that validates against a list to ensure that the user doesn't input the same name. When testing it, if I type in the same name including the same case structure, it returns an error. If I change one letter to a different case, it doesn't return an error but rather my SQL server returns a duplicate error. How do I change the server-side validator so that it picks up duplicate names regardless of case?
I want to build a custom validator control that inherits from BaseValidator. It will only be used on textboxes in my asp.net application. How can I get access to the textbox itself (read properties of the textbox) within the custom validator?
Here is what I have in my EvaluateIsValid function:
Dim t As TextBox = CType(Page.FindControl(Me.ControlToValidate), TextBox) Return t.Text.Length <= t.MaxLength
It can't seem to find the control, so it breaks with a null reference exception. Can I do this another way?
In ASP.Net, I want to give a user an ability to save the text entered in the textbox to the client machine. So that, user can copy paste it for later use.
Is there a way to show, save as dialog so that user can save the text in a text file on client machine? or, if there is any other alternative?
Do I understand correctly that for your own custom atrributes, to work with client side validation, you also have to write a jQuery script that validate the value?My client side validation works fine, but not for my own attributes (In this case the "PropertiesMustMatchAttribute" I just copied out of a default asp.net mvc project (not empty one), or others that hit the database to see if an email address are unique
is it posible to add client side functionality to a custom server control in vb.net?i am looking at msdn library and there is no code for vb :/ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa719700%28v=VS.71%29.aspxI fount this on MSDN Library Adding Client Capabilities to a Web Server ControlWhat i'm trying to do is to add some client functionality to my control, so that you can get or set some properties/values on client side. From the above link i see that this is doable with Ajax Server Control, but i don't have it, i have Custom Server Control. Can i do this with Custom Server Control and how?
