Validators along with Javascript (On Button Click)

Hi

I have a question about using using Validators along with the javascript for
validations

I have a TextBox control, which i have to check for blank. I am using
RequiredFieldValidator for the same.
I have other 2 checkboxes and a Button called cmdSave for which i have added
a javascript function
cmdSave.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "return CallOnSave();")

function CallOnSave()
{
if (document.getElementById("chkCode").checked == false )
(
if (confirm("WARNING\n\nAre you sure you want to uncheck the
Code?\n\n") )
return true
else
{
return false
}
}
}

If the checkbox check is removed it gives alert and asks from Confirm()
Now when my checkbox is removed and the textBox is blank it just checks for
the checkbox neglecting the RequiredFieldValidator

HTML which is creates will have some thing like this
onclick="return CallOnSave();WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new
WebForm_PostBackOptions( etc etc )))"
So I tried using
cmdSave.Attributes.Add("OnClick", "if ( CallOnSave() )")

I tried
cmdSave.Attributes.Add("OnMouseClick", "return CallOnSave();")
cmdSave.Attributes.Add("OnMouseDown", "return CallOnSave();")

I can not use CustomValidators are I can not write it on a button.

----- In short I want to run both Javascript and Validators at the same
time, and it should stop the further execution of the page. ----------

Still its not working.

Please help if you can !!

Hi mikrofax,

Welcome to ASPNET newsgroup.
From your description, on your asp.net webpage, you are using both a
RequiredFieldValidator and some clientside scripts to validate a certain
TextBox's value and the clientscript will continue or suspend the postback
depend on another checkbox's status. However, you're ecountering some
problem on making them work together, yes?

Based on my experience, for such scenario, it's better that we avoid using
both validation control(clientside validation) and custom script valiation
since the Validation control's clientside validation is injected in the
certain event before post back at client side and it's difficult for us to
adjust them so as to make sure they works well with our custom script. So
if possible, I'd suggest you remove the RequiredFieldVAlidator and put the
empty validation in your custom script also.

Also, if you do need to mix them, we can do it through the following trick,
here is a test page I've made to demostrate the means:

========aspx ================
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>scriptvalidate</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" Content="C#">
<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
<meta name="vs_targetSchema"
content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">
<script language="jscript">
function custom_validate()
{
if(document.getElementById("chkSave").checked == false)
{
if (confirm("WARNING\n\nAre you sure you want to uncheck the
Code?\n\n") )
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
}
</script>

<script runat="server" language="C#" >
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

btnSubmit.Attributes["onclick"] = "if(custom_validate() == false){return
false;};";
}

protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("PostBack_" + DateTime.Now.Ticks);
}
</script>
</HEAD>
<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:TextBox id="txtValue" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="rfvValue" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"
ControlToValidate="txtValue"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator><BR>
<asp:CheckBox id="chkSave" runat="server"
Text="Save"></asp:CheckBox><BR>
<asp:Button id="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit"
OnClick="btnSubmit_Click"></asp:Button>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

Hi

Thanks Steve

That thing worked.
I got the same thing using
form1.Attributes.Add("OnSubmit", "return CallOnSave();")
which worked well ... But this might not be a good solution if I have more
than one buttons or some dropdown box which post back to the same page..

And one more thing ....
thanks for the regular expression solution.

^(\d{1,3}(\,\d{3})*|(\d+))(\.\d{0,2})?$
I think this will work with the set of 3 integers at one point of time ..
like big numeric price fields, which i didnt realise ... of course I was
putting comma "," internally through javascript code once the number is
completely typed...

Thanks again
