Validators not checked if OnClientClick used

Hi,

I have a situation where I have placed required field validator controls to the server control which needs to be validated. For all these required field validators enable client script is true.

Now at the submit button I need to call a JavaScript method 'setMovieName()' also.

I experienced that if I place onClientClick="return setMovieName() JavaScript method with button, Validators are not checked.
If I remove the JavaScript method then the validators get called.

I need to have both the things done on button click. Please help.

Thanks in advance !
Regards,
Divya

Solution 1

In the last of the setMovieName() function you can call

Page_ClientValidate(grop);

Page_ClientValidate will validate the page at client side.

Hi Prakash,

Thanks you so much .. this made it work ..

But another issue raised , I am also using Ajax at the page which is not getting work untill I fill all the required text boxes .. it gives error messages as per the required field validators.

I need Ajax stuff to work independently from this validators .. How do i achieve this.. Any idea will be apprciated.

Thanks again !

Please don't post a new question as answer, instead of this you can add comment to the answer for further query.

Regarding your question. If your want the AJAX portion to work independently in that case you can use grouping of the validation control, and do validation on the groups.
