RegularExpressionValidator

hello,

i'm using a RegularExpressionValidator in a form which works fine in IE, however in netscape instead of displaying the dialog box it just reloads the page.

I use:

Code:

---

<form runat="server">
<asp:TextBox class="edittext" id="Title" runat="server" size="57" MaxLength="150"></asp:TextBox>

<asp:RegularExpressionValidator id="ValidateTitle" runat="server" ValidationExpression="[\w\s-']+" Display="Dynamic" ControlToValidate="Title" ErrorMessage="Only alphanumeric characters please."></asp:RegularExpressionValidator>

<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" Display="Dynamic" ControlToValidate="Title" ErrorMessage="Do not leave title empty."></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>

<asp:ImageButton id="Save" runat="server" Width="16px" Height="16px" alt="Save" ImageUrl="images/icon_save.gif"></asp:ImageButton>
</form>

---

...what am i doing wrong?

The .Net validators do not support client-side validation for Netscape or Mozilla.. in fact the only one they work on is IE.

This means you will not have a dynamic display when the user leaves the field.

The next framework due in April will supposedly include support for the other browsers.

thank you nemaroller.

this is the best possible reason ever for me not to consider even touching to .net form validators and keep on using pure javascript code.

cheers,

wc.
