[RESOLVED] client side validators

[kleinma]

Given an ASPX page with a textbox, a requiredfieldvalidator, and 2 buttons.

If I want to only have the requiredfieldvalidator validate that data is in the textbox if button1 is clicked but not button2, is my only option to set EnableClientScript to false and do validation on the postback?

Or have they implemented a way where you can still do the client side validation, but specify for it to only occur if button1 is clicked and not button2?

Hey,

You can set the CausesValidation property of the other TextBox:

You mean of the button?

Yes, that is exactly what I meant

Sorry, wasn't concentrating

Looks to be what I was after. Thanks.

This was always such a headache in ASP.NET 1.1

I never really had the privilege of doing ASP.Net 1.1, I jumped straight into .Net 2.0, but I have heard that there were a number of things, like this, that were just hideous in the earlier version.
