Client Side OnBlur Triggering Validation

[Joe.Dattilo]

Hello,
Does anyone know how I can stop the RequiredFieldVa lidator from validation OnBlur and OnChange. I only want it to validate when the user submits the form (but still want it to run client side)

Thanks

Two solutions:

1. Disable client side validation. Set EnableClientScr ipt to false on the
validators. Your server side code to validate takes over. (You did write
code to check Page.IsValid, right?)

2. Microsoft's validators are quite limited. I rewrote validation for
ASP.NET to handle a greatly expanded set of possibilities, so that you
wouldn't have to develop custom code or (in this case) hacks. Within
"Profession al Validation And More" (http://www.peterblum.com/vam/home.aspx),
you can keep client side validation enabled and disable validation during on
change by setting each validator's EventsThatValid ate property to
"OnSubmit". I put together a list of limitations in Microsoft's validators
at http://www.peterblum.com/vam/valmain.aspx to assist users as they design
their site's validation.
