!> !
!> C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\aspnet_clie nt/system_web/1_0_3705_288/WebUIValidation .js
!> ! 7.. So, go ahead and open the file from step 6: "WebUIValidatio n.js" ***
!> Make a backup first (just in case!)
!> ! 8.. We are only going to modify the "ValidatorUpdat eIsValid()" function.
!> Modify the function to look like the following (I have included the entire
!> function here... so you can actually just overwrite yours with this one):
!> ! function ValidatorUpdate IsValid() {
!> ! var i;
!> ! for (i = 0; i < Page_Validators .length; i++) {
!> ! if (!Page_Validato rs[i].isvalid) {
!> ! Page_IsValid = false;
!> ! //---[ YERKES * 06/29/03 ]--------------------------------------
!> ! // The code in this function was added to allow field
!> ! // focusing when a validator is not valid.
!> ! //
!> ! // Uncomment the following 'alert' if you want a pop-up
!> ! // to display the error message along with it being dispalyed
!> ! // on the form.
!> ! //--------------------------------------------------------------
!> ! //alert(Page_Vali dators[i].errormessage);
!> ! var strControlToVal idate = Page_Validators[i].controltovalid ate;
!> ! var strControlType =
!> document.forms[0].elements[strControlToVal idate].type;
!> ! if (strControlType != "text"){
!> ! document.forms[0].elements[strControlToVal idate][0].focus();
!> ! return
!> ! } else {
!> ! document.forms[0].elements[strControlToVal idate].focus();
!> ! return;
!> ! }
!> ! }
!> ! }
!> ! Page_IsValid = true;
!> ! }
!> ! 9.. Save this File and "refesh" your aspx page in the browser. The
!> changes should have taken effect.
!> !That's it... this works for text fields and radiobuttonlist s... that is

!> validation for any reason (and not submt the form, of course).
!> !I have also attached my WebUIValidation .js just so you can have the whole
