How do I implement client side validation for input fields that have been added to the form dynamically with javascript in an MVC 2 application?
View 2 RepliesHow can I conditionally disable client-side validation of some fields ?
Here is the example of what I need to do:
user writes name and address and submits. Both are validated both server and client side. If validation passes e-mail is send to given address and (name, address) pair is stored.as a response same page is displayed (I don't want redirect!) this time with confirmation. User can retype their name and submit. In such case e-mail will be resend to the address that corresponds to given name.
It does not work because: client side validation will not pass when user clicks resent button on the second (confirmation screen). It would say that e-mail is required even if there is no field for it. How can I disable javascript validating email before the confirm page gets send to user ?
Example ASP.NET MVC page
<%if (Model.Confirm == false){ %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
Your email: <%: Html.EditorFor(m => m.Email) %>
Your name: <%: Html.EditorFor(m => m.Name) %>
<input type="submit" value="Send Email" />
[Code]....
I have a page with a table and two button with the names (Submit and Add Rows) When I click on Add Row a new row will be added to a page(This is achieved using javascript), when I click on submit button I will be doing server side validation. If I found any error the error will be displayed on the page. During this process the controls which were added by me were loosing its state. As a result I need to add the rows once again and need to fill the data and click on submit button. Can any one let me know how to avoid this and see that the controls donot loose their states. So that there is no need for me to create rows once again if any validation fails on the server side.
View 1 Repliesn 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";
}
}
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
<html>
<body>
<input type="text" name="first name"/>
</body>
</html>
can we apply clien side validation on above text box by java script ?in asp.net
<form runat="server">
</form>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
I was using RangeValidator to validate user input on client side for double values.One of my user said that when he enters 5E-10, my range validator does not understand that number as a valid double.

Is there a way that I can execute a javascript function after the client side validation occurs in asp.net?I have a couple validation controls on a page and an input button with CausesValidation=true. The OnClientClick handler executes javascript before the validation runs, but i want to run some functions afterwards.
View 1 RepliesI have a form that contains multiple and different input controls .. and I have two types of validation:
This type insures that the user input doesn't violate my application's constraints (required, max length, regExp).. and this is done on the client side using the ASP.NET Validation Controls .. and it's enforced by a server side validation.
This type works on a deeper level, like the database. it check if the entry is duplicate and any other check that can't be done on the UI level.
I use the ValidationSummary control to display the first type's errors, and a label for the second's type errors. I tried to test it with the JavaScript disabled and it worked fine, then I turned the JS back on and *Here comes the problem: *
I first try to raise an error on the db layer (by entering a name that already exists) and the error is displayed on the label and everything is good .. now I try to remove the name from the textbox and press the submit so I could raise a required field validator error the expected output is "This field is required" only but what I see is "the name already exists" and "This field is required".
I think it's because when the ASP.NET RequiredValidator works, it doesn't make a postback, so the database layer will never be validated and won't even get the label cleared!
I encouter some postback issue when using GetPostBackEventReference. Here is the Scenario:I have a javascript modal popup dialog and got a button in this modal dialog which used to select things (this is NOT an asp:button control)
When this javascript dialog HTML button is clicked, it will call the MS AJAX web service call by the javascript: eval() method. And this MS AJAX web service call is dynamically generated. So the code is like this:
var serviceCall = svcCall + "(" + parameters + ")"; //dynamically generate the MS AJAX web service call here
eval(serviceCall);
//use eval to trigger the MS AJAX web service call
As you may all know, after complete the MS AJAX web service, you can define a callback function to handle the completion:
function OnComplete(result, userContext, methodName) {
//force to call postback manually
eval($(userContext[0]).val()); [code]...
As you can see, this is how I bound the asp:button (i.e. btnSelectUser) 's Click Event to the asp:hiddenfield using the GetPostBackEventReference, and set the registerForEventValidation argument to false. I have also tried to use different ValidationGroup and set the CausesValidation to false.In summarize, I bound the asp:button's Click PostBackEventReference(i.e. __doPostback(....)) to the asp:hidden field's Value attribute, and using javascript eval() to eval this hidden field's value in order to manually trigger postback.
p.s. the btnSelectUser is an asp:button control and used to call out the javascript modal dialog.
Ok, here is the Problem:In the same page, there is some asp:validator, e.g. and , and of coz, when the page run into error, this validator and callout will display to the user. e.g. When the user didn't fill in anything and submit the form, the ValidatorCalloutExtender will display a ballon and tell the user. Imagine one of this ballon/validatorCalloutExtender come out and on top of your screen at the moment.
Then you click the btnSelectUser (asp:button) to show the javascript modal dialog, and in the dialog, you Add some users, and once you hit the SELECT button inside this modal dialog, a MS AJAX web service is trigger as mentioned above, and once this web service is complete, it eval() the asp:hidden field's value (i.e. __doPostback(...))......and do the postback manually.
However, because of the validatorCalloutExtender ballon has display, it somehow cannot trigger the postback in this way, but when I close the ballon/validatorCalloutExtender, the manual postback using eval() is just working fine. Even more strange is that, when the ballon is displayed, the first time I click the SELECT button inside this modal dialog it doesn't fire the postback, however, if I do the same thing again (i.e. open up the javascript dialog, and choose some users, then click the SELECT button again). It able to do the manual postback....and I don't understand why the first time doesn't work.
Is there any way to add a confirmation dialog to a submit button when the form already has other validation controls and a summary control using "showmessagebox=true"? I tried adding
OnClientClick="return confirm('Are you sure?');" to the submit button, but that seems to block all of the other validation?
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 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)
<asp:RadioButton runat="Server" ID="RadioBetween" GroupName="DateGroup" CssClass="date_group_options_control_radio" />
[code]...
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.
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
var ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator = document.all ? document.all["ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator"] : document.getElementById("ctl00_MCPH1_QueryTextValidator");
[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 content-sensitive firewall between my clients and my server. If we exclude SSL solution (it's not available in my case) then I was thinking of a javascript library which encrypts custom fields at client-side and a .NET class decrypts them at server-side. Is there any solution out of the box (maybe a server control) ?
View 2 RepliesI'm using an entity model with metadata annotations. My controller method looks like this...
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return View(model);
}
else
{
UpdateModel(model);
repo.Save();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
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?
What I'm trying to achieve/plan, is whereby a page loads with a set of inputs, e.g. TextBox, Radio List etc. Taking TextBox as an example, there is a button for the user to "Add" another textbox to the page (in the same group), e.g. Member1, Member2, Member3 etc etc.
Two questions:
I could add these with Javascript, however the resultant "save" on postback would not get these inputs? If so, how? The form needs to work without Javascript as well, so postback to dad another control is fine, however if I click the "add" button again, it will only ever add one control.
protected void btnAdd_OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
holder.Controls.Add(new TextBox { ID = "txtControl1" });
}
I am trying to create a custom password validation attribute which has these requirements
1. cannot be empty.
2. doesn't contain space or other special chracters, which I'll define later.
3. length is between 6 - 12

it works fine on the server-side but I'd like to make this work on the client side as well, so I created a PasswordAttributeAdapter class

If I have something like the following:
<asp:TextBox id="test" runat="sever"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="test"
ErrorMessage="Required"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<asp:Label runat="server" id="lblStatus"></asp:Label>
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.
View 2 Repliesi am working an asp.net mvc 2 web app using model metadata, templates and client side validation using jquery. I have noticed that the boolean and datetime fields of my model are treated as required from the model metadata, even though i haven't applied any Required attribute on them. This is not a problem for server side validation, but when using the client side validation (<%Html.EnableClientValidation(); %>) on my edit model page, the validation fails and i cannot post the model changes. Specifically, when setting the boolean property to unchecked (false), the validation fails and the "Field is required" message appears.
The only workaround i have found so far is to override the default Editor templates for my models and write my own.
