Web Forms :: Trigger The ValidationSummary Before The User Hits A Button That Causes Validation?
Nov 19, 2010
Is there anyway to trigger the ValidationSummary before the user hits a button that causes validation?I have a bunch of text boxes with Required and Rregex validators attached, as I type in them and tab out they trigger their errors however the summary doesn't show anything until I hit the Submit button. Any way to have the ValidationSummary update itself in the same way as all other validators?
I have a web page, with three buttons which allow a user to cancel, save & exit, or save & continue. to assign the Save & Continue button the ability to accept the Enter key as being equal to it being clicked? Thought this might make it faster for data entry, so they can keep hands on keyboard, and just hit enter, instead of having to use mouse to click save & continue.
I have required validation controls on a page. If the user got to this page by mistake and wants to go to a different section of the website using the navigational buttons; required validators are triggered and it will not let the user navigate away. Ho do I get validators to trigger only when a submit button is clicked?
I am using Update Panel in my asp page and I am doing JQuery Validation on Asynchronous Postback...I just want to validate my form on only button clicks or submits..My problem is..all my buttons are in different formviews and won't load at a time...that's why I am unable to take the button id's and use the click events..here is my code..
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_initializeRequest(ValidateMyForm); function ValidateMyForm(sender, args) { var objPost = args.get_postBackElement(); [code]..
All I want to do is: 2nd time validation on only button submit not for everything...I do get other postbacks on this page and those post backs also gets validated each time (I want to Avoid this)...
I am trying to trigger a update planel when a user clicks on an button on a GridView. Once the button is pressed the id of the record gathered and then more information will be gathered and sent to lbl.Text in updatePanel1.
How is it possible to add a custom error message to the ValidationSummary HtmlHelper? Can it be part of my model? It's for a sign up form and I need to validate whether the user already exists.
have code in my .Net web app which sets the Form DefaultButton (fires the Search button when enter key is hit). This works fine in IE and Chrome but not in Firefox. I discovered that the web form has the <ajx:HoverMenuExtender which deletes a note when clicked. The problem is this note delete fires when the user hits the keyboard enter key!
Is there a way to not trigger the validation until a checkbox on the form is checked? We have a form that a user does some work in, so they could be adding data throughout the day and saving it, but when it is complete and they check the completed box I want it to run the validation.
I have a checkbox on my page that must be ticked and to validate it I am using a custom method as below. The problem is that I now put the checkbox and method within a Create User Wizard custom tempalte and when I submit the form it does not activate the validation check. If I put a normal button on the page outside the tempalte it works. Not sure If I a missing something. Perhaps I can activate it in Created User Event handler in code behind. All Button in my create user Event.
Is there a way to trigger the validation on the form on the first load? my form loads its data from the DB and the data could already be partially filled by the user - so i want to run the validation on the first load to show the user what he needs to fill and how muchi failed to mention it earlier - i need to perform the validation on the server side - not client side (all the validators i use have server side validation code as well) - and my attempts to call:
Page.Validate(); Page.Validate("My Validation Group"); both resulted in Page.IsValid == true;
the full scenario is like this:i have a very long form that stretch over several pages - the user is allowed to move between them and fill in the information - without validation getting in his way then when he finish he clicks on a different button (that exists on all pages) and that page needs to validate the entire form - and if there is a problem jump the user to where the problem is - i coded all the validation checks into asp.net validation controls - and i whuld like to trigger those controls even if the user jumps to that page by pressing the validate button on a different page - the problem is that the move to that page is regarded as a NEW load of that page (in fact it is - and hence the validation fails to work)
I'm looking for a way of tieing the two together, so that the client-side validation is performed before the call to the "check(this)" in the onclick event.
Edit: To be more clear, I need a way to inspect or trigger the client-side validation result of the textbox, when I click the unrelated button beside it.
Edit: I now have the button JS checking for $("form").validate().invalid, but not displaying the usual validation messages.
I have got a query regarding the usage of delegate in usercontrols. The scenario is I have got a user control which acts as a footer
on all the pages, It has the following place holders : Email, Print, Logout.
What I want to acheive here is when the customer logged in he/she has certain feauture's on the website for instance his/her personal diary,
dieting charts, birthday calender etc. I have figured out a way to create pdf's of each summary , what I am looking for is how to use the usercontrol
for instance when the customer clicks on the email place holder on certain page which is in the footer usercontrol, the following place holder should send
an email with the pdf file of that particular page attached to the customer. I came to know that delegate is the best way of doing it, but I cant find any specific tutorial on it.
I have around 8 user controls on a page with a form in each of them. I have a dropdown list that allows you to select a form, with a selectedindexchanged event that hides the current form and shows the requested form.
There is some javascript that needs to fire when each form loads. Now, when you click on a form for the first time, the javascript fires as it should, but if you click the dropdown to change the form, then click back to a previous form, the javascript doesn't fire (because the user control is already loaded).
Is there anything I can do to trigger a postback, or reload/refresh the user control whenever an option is selected from the drop down?
I am having an issue with a user control that contains a dropdown and a validator. I created a property for the "CausesValidation" property on the dropdown and set it to false. And yet the dropdown is still triggering the validator. I am having issues with this elsewhere as well including on my ModalPopup.
I have 3 gridviews in one of my web page. I have simplified the system structure in the image below(further description will be stated below the image): As shown in the image above, the web site(presentation layer) will work closely with the Business Logic layer(BLL) and Data Access Layer(DLL). ObjectDataSource control will be the middle man to select, update, insert and delete the data in the gridviews. During Select, returned data from the database at DAL will be stored in a datatable and return to BLL and then the website itself.
The data in the returned datatable will be filetered by type using RowFilter method and stored into the 3 dataviews. Each dataview will act as the datasource for the 3 GridViews respectively, and therefore I specified the datasource programatically instead of setting the datasourceid for each gridview.
However, the Update(command button) and Delete(template field) doesn't work, the RowUpdating and RowDeleting event wasn't trigger when I click on the button, but it works if I set the gridviews' datasourceid to the objectdatasource. I couldn't figure out why, hope that someone who have come across the same problem couldn't provide some guidance.

I have few controls which r validated for blank on a page having 5 buttons
I want the validation to take place only on save button click & not on any other button
<asp:ValidationSummary ID="ValidationSummary1" HeaderText="You must enter a value in the following fields:" EnableClientScript="true" ShowMessageBox="true" ShowSummary="false" DisplayMode="BulletList" runat="server" />
I have two buttons on my page, the first page is View Button and the second is Update Button. View button display's member's personal profile. If I click on the view button, my custom validator automatically trigger, meaning, it automatically displays the error message. Whereas, the custom validator must trigger if I click on the Update button. How am be able to deal with this kind of problem.
