How to bypass fields that have required validation to go to next page

[Bootzilla33]

I want to show required validator when Contract is selected on this toggle.

<label for="exampleNASAControlNumber">Is this a Contract or Solicitation?:</label>
<label class="switch2">
<input class="switch-input2" type="checkbox" id="contractselection" name="contractselection" runat="server"/>

		 </label>

The validation should work for this only when contract is selected:

<label for="exampleStartDate" style="position:relative; right:17px;">Contract Start Period:*:</label>

	<input class="form-control" id="contractstartdate"  name="contractstartdate" runat="server" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY" type="text" style="width:240px;"/>

and disabled for this validator:

<label for="exampleStartDate" style="position:relative; right:15px;">Solicitation Start Period:*:</label>
<%----%>

			 <input class="form-control" id="solicitationstartdate" name="solicitationstartdate" runat="server" placeholder="MM/DD/YYYY" type="text"/>

The reverse of this when Solicitation is selected, the Contract Start Date validator should be disable and the Solicitation Start Date validator is enabled.

I did it using manual validation and jQuery.Validator.js. for MVC I never used the validator for WebForms. But I would remove your validators and go manual. I wrote a jquery script called load_cc_validator and called it when I toggled the form module in jquery. So I wrote the HTML in Razor and manually assigned the values

Card information

@Html.Label("Edit_CC_FirstName", "First name on card", new { @class = "control-label" })

    @Html.TextBox("Edit\_CC\_FirstName", "", new { @class = "form-control", data\_val = "true", data\_val\_required = "Card first name required", placeholder = "First name on card" })
    @Html.ValidationMessage("Edit\_CC\_FirstName", new { @class = "field-validation-valid", data\_valmsg\_replace = "true" })

@Html.Hidden("Edit_CC_PaymentID")
@Html.Hidden("Edit_CC_Brand")
<button class="btn btn-default btn-lg mobile" type="button" onclick="return editPayment_cancel()">Cancel</button>
 
<button class="btn checkout pull-right mobile" type="button" onclick="return submit_eCC()">Save</button>

submit_eCC is just a $ajax call to the controller to update the database, and has nothing to do with validation. editPayment_cancel just clears the form and hides the form module. Since I'm using $ajax, I set the Submit Form Handler to false to not submit a post back of the form. And then wrote the script and called it. This example reflects the whole module, and would take too much time to condense

function load_eCC_validate() {

var $cC\_form                    = $("#Edit\_CreditCard"),
    $cC\_location                = $("#Edit\_CC\_LocationName"),
    $cC\_fName                   = $("#Edit\_CC\_FirstName"),
    $cC\_lName                   = $("#Edit\_CC\_LastName"),
    $cC\_code                    = $("#Edit\_CC\_Code"),
    $cC\_phone                   = $("#Edit\_CC\_Phone");
    $bA\_streetAddress1          = $("#Edit\_CC\_StreetAddress1"),
    $bA\_city                    = $("#Edit\_CC\_City"),
    $bA\_stateCode               = $("#Edit\_CC\_StateCode"),
    $bA\_postalCode              = $("#Edit\_CC\_PostalCode"),
    $bA\_countryCode             = $("#Edit\_CC\_CountryCode");

$cC\_form.validate({        
    errorClass: 'form-control input-validation-error',
    validClass: 'form-control',
    errorElement: 'span',

Perhaps Specifying Validation Groups may be what you need? [^]

ValidationGroup won't work. I only have one button on my form.

The WebForms validators don't include conditional validation out of the box. You can write your own conditional validators, or find a library that does it for you. (The only one I've seen is a commercial component, so I wrote my own.) Or, you can use some code to enable or disable the validator[^] based on a condition. Otherwise, you'll have to stick with the CustomValidator[^]: How to: Validate with a Custom Function for ASP.NET Server Controls[^]
