Validators are all firing

[tshad]

Is there a way to tell the validators to not fire if one of the validators
fails the input?

For example:

In the following code, if someone doesn't enter anything in the field, I
should get the message " A password must be entered".

I am also getting the message that I need " 1 numeric", "the passwords don't
match" and "I need from 6 - 20 characters".

I would like to only get the first message, which ever it is.

*************** *************** *************** *************** *************** ******
<tr valign="baselin e">
<td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap>Password :</td>
<td>
<asp:textbox id="password1" TextMode="Passw ord" Columns="45"
runat="server" /><asp:label text=" 6-20 characters with at least 1 numeric"
style="color:re d" runat="server"/>
<asp:RegularExp ressionValidato r
ControlToValida te="password1"
Display="Dynami c"
Text="<br>Your password must contain between 6 and 20 characters!"
ValidationExpre ssion="\w{6,20} "
Runat="Server" />
<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator id="RequiredFie ldValidator"
ControlToValida te="password1"
Display="Dynami c"
ErrorMessage="A password must be entered!"
runat="server"/>
<asp:RegularExp ressionValidato r
ControlToValida te="password1"
Display="Dynami c"
Text="<br>Your password must contain at least one number and
letter!"
ValidationExpre ssion="[a-zA-Z]+\w*\d+\w*"
Runat="Server" />
</td>
</tr>
</div>
<div id="retypePassw ord" visible="false" runat="server">
<tr valign="baselin e">
<td align="right" valign="middle" nowrap>Retype Password:</td>
<td>
<asp:textbox id="password2" TextMode="Passw ord" Columns="45"
runat="server" />
<asp:CompareVal idator
ControlToValida te="password1"
ControlToCompar e="password2"
Display="Dynami c"
Text="<br>Your passwords don't match!"
Operator="Equal "
Type="String"
Runat="Server" />
</td>
</tr>

Hi,

I don't think that it is possible. 'Coz... all validator controls are not
having any events ...so that you can't cotrol from your code behind like....

If (Is validator1 fired) then

disable validator2

else
enable validator2

end if.

You can write your own validators by inheriting the existing validating
scripts and you can try to achieve this.

Cheers,

Jerome. M
