Microsoft Validation controls

Hello,
Happy New Year?
I have completed my first ASP.net Data Driven Form. It works great. I use many of the Microsoft Validation controls.
However, I tested my application on FireFox and none of the validation controls work. Will ASP2.net resolve this? What can I do?

Can you please post URL of an example?

Hello Everyone,
</o>
I have solved my ASP.Net 2.0 Validation Controls problem in which I added code so that a non-Internet Explorer browser, like FireFox, will be able to handle the standard ASP.net validation controls.

Thanks for your comments...

Sure...Joel


Here's the link... I had to do some slight mods... Also, upgrade to asp.net 2.0..

As a follow up... here's the code I used to get FireFox to accept all the standard asp.net validation controls..


good luck,


gene





'#1 note: insert at the beginning of the code
Sub Page_Load(Sender,E)
If Not IsPostBack
'Validate intially to force *s to appear before the first round-trip
Validate()
End If
End Sub


'#2 note: added the "onchange" in my first textbox
<asp:TextBox id="txtfirstname" runat="server" MaxLength="15" onchange="ClientOnChange():"></asp:TextBox>


'#3note: added this code at the end of the program.
</form>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function ClientOnChange() {
if (typeof(Page_Validators) == "undefined")
return;
document.all["lblOutput"].innerText = Page_IsValid ? "Page is Valid!" : "Some of the required fields are empty";
}
// -->
</script>

looks like this is a common problem. Not sure if there is a work around, might have to wait for MS to fix or use 3rd party validation controls.

In the MSDN docs, it covers how to create DOM validators, that work in all browsers. It really isnt to hard, I did it, and added the capability to MD5 hash any field upon validation, so my passwords are not sent in clear text.

Just search on CustomValidator Control Sample in MSDN...
