What type of validations you have used?? If these are javascript validation make sure JS is enabled on your browser..Also post your code for better understanding of your problem

Hi Abhijit, I tried by giving the same validation group name to all the textboxes, validation controls and the button control. But, still the form is submitting blank.

Abhijit Jana

I did the same, and was working fine. By the way I removed the Regx For Telephone number an then tried.

Add the following to your web.config file </system.web> <system.webServer> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/> <modules> <add name="ScriptModule" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/> </modules> <handlers> <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/> <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/> <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/> <add name="ScriptResource" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/> </handlers> </system.webServer>

Hi Zafar, i have updated the web.config file with the code that mentioned in your reply...But, still it's not working. Can it be the problem with the server where the site is hosted??

Hi Zafar, "which version u r using 2005 or 2008" I am using .Net (version 3.5) with Sql Server 2005 on my local machine. And on the web server we have .net (v 2.0) with sql server 2005. "is it working on local?" The code is working perfectly on local; but the problem occured when i tried to run it on web server.

you are using framework 3.5 on local while on server you are using 2.0 use the same on both. Validation don't depend on code behind. check the property CausesValidation="true" on submit or save button and also check the ValidationGroup is the same for all controls you want to validate (if u r using Val Group) i think it will solve your problem

er puneet

Hi Zafar, i 've checked the code, causesvalidation property was true. I am posting the inline code here: <table align="center" class="appform" width="100%" cellpadding="2px" cellspacing="1px" border="0px"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td colspan="2"> <asp:Label ID="LblMsg" runat="server"></asp:Label> </td> <td>  </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td> Name:*</td> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="TxtName" runat="server" Width="270px" ValidationGroup="contact" CausesValidation="True"></asp:TextBox> </td> <td> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="TxtName" Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="*" ValidationGroup="contact"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator> </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td> Email ID:*</td> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="TxtEmail" runat="server" Width="270px" ValidationGroup="contact"></asp:TextBox> </td> <td>  </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td> Phone Number:*</td> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="TxtPhone" runat="server" Width="270px" ValidationGroup="contact"></asp:TextBox> </td> <td>  </td> </tr> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td valign="top"> Message:*</td> <td> <asp:TextBox ID="TxtMessage" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Width="270px" Height="150px" ValidationGroup="contact"></asp:TextBox> </td> <td valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr valig

Zafar A khan

the code is working.. properly. there is no issue in your code. but the in the BtnReset set the CausesValidation="false" and in BtnSubmit set the CausesValidation="true" because no need of validation on Reset button. Use Same .net framework version on server and your development environment. (as you said that it is working on local) so its the issue on server.

hello Zafar, Finally, the problem is solved. the problem was with the server. thanx a lot for your support... :)
