It seems the javascript doesn't fire
Any ideas?

My understanding is that .net doesn't support client side validation in
anything other than ie. Yay.
It does however validate on the server for these users... hope that
helps?
..Net is an advanced system that is run on MS/Windows platform only ! Period
! Certain features will not work with non-ms browsers as you found out. As a
result, you may want to tell your users that to use your website, MSIE is
required. However, if you wish to allow all platforms to participate in your
website, then you have two choices: a) Do not use .Net period and or b) Use
..Net but do not use advanced features offered in .Net.

Bit of a sweeping statement. ASP.NET just outputs data for the browser to
render. Theoretically, the output is browser agnostic. Of course,
practically, the designers of ASP.NET share the canteen with the designers
of MSIE, so it's natural that they get together over a couple of milk shakes
and say things like "wouldn't the internet be great if we had client side
validation rather than shunting everything back and forth to the server". An
lo and behold, the IE team implement support for ASP.NET latest trick.
But I strongly disagree that ASP.NET should only be used with IE. Fact is
that market share is moving away from IE, although IE is still dominant. You
really have to cater for as much of the market that you practically can. At
the moment we're talking about desktop browsers. ASP.NET is very capable of
supplying content for mobile devices too.
Of course, to cater for most browsers you have to write your app based on
the minimum shared spec. It's true that this precludes many "advanced"
features, but often these were just eye candy anyway. Your user doesn't
really *need* Java menus.
BTW the reason the page doesn't validate with Firefox could be because you
have java/script turned off.

Then we, developer should take care not to base our logic on one central
platform such as .Net. We should demand .Net creator (MS) to accomodate
other tools as well. Not just MSIE. So far, MS does not comply. Why do .Net
Validator controls work very well on MSIE but not on other browsers ?
Because "control of market by MS", period! I am not anti-MS, it is useless
to yell at a billionaire. I am just saying that, us, the developers, make
sure that stuffs donot work on non-MSIE should not be implemented because
they break anyway. Why use them.
ASP.NET is very capable of
supplying content for mobile devices too.
I am not up to speed on mobile devices. However, do these tiny devices host
non MS tools too ? Such as FF and NS ? I know mobile device only works with
Windows platforms (I could be wrong) ?
Of course, to cater for most browsers you have to write your app based on
the minimum shared spec. It's true that this precludes many "advanced"
features, but often these were just eye candy anyway. Your user doesn't
really *need* Java menus.
Well. My intention is mainly for KISS. If the tool itself (.net) already
provides such features as client validator controls, then why should I have
to write my own codes to do the same thing on the server ? It is a
duplication of effort that should be avoided. I do like the client validator
controls offered by Asp.Net, and I told my clients that you must use IE. In
fact, 99.9% of my clients are MS/Windows (98SE, and XP Home or Pro). These
OSes ship with MSIE. If other browsers don't work, then use IE.
BTW the reason the page doesn't validate with Firefox could be because you
have java/script turned off.
I tried this with NS too and it broke! On my website, I offered other JS
features such as onFocus, onBlur and doubleclick, etc, etc... and most of
those work fine on non MS browsers. So I know that my clients do enable JS.
Otherwise, Asp.Net form would not work in the 1st place. I hope VS2k5 will
be improved and that Validator controls would work with other browsers
(would be nice)

> So are you saying it won't work
Are you insane? If you read the article
( http://asptoday.com/Content.aspx?id=2339), it explains how ASP.Net uses a
config section called <browserCaps> to enable the server-side components to
interact with a variety of browsers. In addition, it describes the problem
with the version of browserCaps that is installed with the .Net Framework
1.1. Finally, it details how to rememdy the issue, and has a link to a
complete and excellent browserCaps config section that can be added to the
machine.config file, and instructions on how to do it!

My JavaScript Form Validation doesn't work at all in Netscape, but it
works fine in IE.
I made some of the suggested changes which enabled it to work in IE.
I couldn't make all the changes because then it didn't work in IE.
How can I enable this javascipt form validation to work in Netscape?
When I use netscape, none of the alert boxes appear. It submits the
form without validating anything.

Hi,
I have many, many forms that use all of the different form validation
controls. These work great on my local server however I have just been
alerted to the fact that the form validation doesn't work at all on
the web server causing all sorts of differing problems.
I would assume that it has something to do with the JavaScript for the
client side form validation however this is as far as I get.
