Firefox Validation Issue - not the standard document.[all] problem!

[andersoj]

I have a page that has some required field validators created in the
aspx, and other validators created in the Page_Load event.

In IE, all validation works as expected. In Firefox, ASPX validators
work fine, but the validators created in the code-behind do not.

Am I adding the validators to the wrong control on the page? Right now
I'm finding the main form control and adding them to that. Adding to
Page.Validators didn't work.

ASPX validators:

<asp:Validation Summary ID="vlSummary" Runat="server" ShowSummary="Tr ue"
DisplayMode="Bu lletList" HeaderText="Ple ase correct the following
error(s):" />

<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator ID="vrqFirstNam e" Runat="server"
ControlToValida te="txtFirstNam e" ErrorMessage="F irst Name is required"
Display="None" />

<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator ID="vrqLastName " Runat="server"
ControlToValida te="txtLastName " ErrorMessage="L ast Name is required"
Display="None" />

<asp:RequiredFi eldValidator ID="vrqAddress " Runat="server"
ControlToValida te="txtAddress " ErrorMessage="A ddress is required"
Display="None" />
Code-behind (called from Page_Load method):
private void AddReqFieldVali dator(string fld, string msg_fld)
{
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Requ iredFieldValida tor rfv = new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Requ iredFieldValida tor();
rfv.ID = "vrq" + fld;
rfv.ControlToVa lidate = fld;
rfv.ErrorMessag e = msg_fld + " is required";
rfv.Display = ValidatorDispla y.None;
rfv.EnableClien tScript = true;
Page.FindContro l("frmPage").Co ntrols.Add(rfv) ;
}

client script validation is only supported for IE, for other browser, only
serverside validation works. for serverside validation to work, you must
call the IsValid property or the Validate() method in the codebehind.

this requires your copdebehind

Then why do some of the client-side validators work in Firefox? I'd
buy that if none of them worked in Firefox at all.

[andersoj]

Also, I AM calling the IsValid property in the codebehind.

I have found asp: validators to be unreliable with Firefox, in general,
regardless of codebehind.
That's even with browser detection and isvalid checks.
