Reformat TextBox value prior validation

[Oleg Ogurok]

Hi there,

I have a modified ASP.NET TextBox control that formats its output as the
phone number, e.g. if you enter "1234567890 " it'll change the value to
"123-456-7890". This is done by a javascript function called on "onblur"
event of the textbox.

However, it seems validation happens before the onblur event, therefore if I
enter "1234567890 ", the validator that checks the phone number is set to
"Invalid" state. How can I format the data in TextBox prior to validation?

Thanks.

<asp:RegularExp ressionValidato r id="revCell" runat="server"
ErrorMessage="C ell phone number is invalid" ControlToValida te="tb"

writer)
{

writer.AddAttri bute("onblur", "TelephoneTextB ox_Format(this) ");
}
protected override void OnPreRender(Eve ntArgs e)
{
base.OnPreRende r (e);
string scriptFormat =
"<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n " +
" function TelephoneTextBo x_Format(source )\n" +
" {\n" +
" var phone = source.value\n" +
" phone = phone.replace(/\\s/g, \"\");\n" +
" if (phone.match(/[^\\d]/))\n" +
" return;\n" +
" if (phone.length != 10)\n" +
" return;\n" +
" source.value = phone.substr(0, 3) + '-' + phone.substr(3, 3) + '-' +
phone.substr(6, 4);\n" +
" }\n" +
"</script>";
Page.RegisterCl ientScriptBlock ("TelephoneText Box_Format", scriptFormat);
}

Is the server side validator giving the message?

No, once I've set EnableClientScr ipt="False" on the validator and clicked a
button, the server-side validation said OK.
