Validation

[Tsepoz]

I'm trying to validate on client side with requiredfields but my big problem is if the page with requiredfields was activated when i want to go to another page am unable to click buttons cause nothing was putted on those required fields.So how do i control my requiredfields to only work on a certain click not on page activation.

Set the Page_ValidationActive javascript variable to false in the button's OnClick event. This works: In your ASPX (had to remove beginning angle brackets to get it to render on CP :) ):

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Default.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

Untitled Page





asp:RequiredFieldValidator runat="server" id="rfv" ControlToValidate="txt" ErrorMessage="Error">
asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txt">
asp:Button runat="server" ID="btn" Text="Go" OnClick="btn\_Click" />




function TurnOffVal()
    {
        Page\_ValidationActive = false;
    }

And in the code behind:

using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Security;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
btn.Attributes.Add("onclick", "TurnOffVal();");
}
protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Redirect("http://www.codeproject.com");
}
}
