Hello,
I have two dropdown controls on a form, representing a month/year
combination. The date entered must be in the future, so I wrote a custom
validator to check this. Trouble is, the validator is only tied to one
control (currently the month dropdown), which means that the validation
isn't fired when the other control's value changes.
Is there a way of getting the client-side validation code to fire when
either one of two controls is changed? TIA

Thanks, they look very good.
I assume from your answer that what I want to do can't easily be done in
ASP.NET? I wondered if the changes in 2.0 had brought any improvements
to the validation controls.
Thanks for the reply

From what I've noticed, the validation controls in 2.0 have not made great
gains in the way of functionality. There are some new things like setting
focus on error and a few other items.

There was talk of validation groups, but I haven't had time to look in
the docs and see if that made it in.

You can do anything you want. You're a programmer!
This is pretty straightforward . I just add another attribute to the
validator tag, like secondControl=" txtDate2". It will render as an
attribute of the DIV used for the validator and you'll get a reference
to that DIV (or is it a Span?) in the custom validation function. Just
grab the attribute, getElementByID( ), and you're good to go.

Oh yeah, I forgot!! This is pretty straightforward . I just add another attribute to the
validator tag, like secondControl=" txtDate2". It will render as an

OK, but the one bit I don't get is how I get the validation routine to
be fired by the second control. You'll have to excuse me, but my
knowledge of the client-side bits is pretty sketchy at the moment.
If I read your words right, adding the attribute merely gives me a
reference to the second control. I can already do that from plain old
Javascript, that's how I do the validation now. What I need is to get
the second control to fire the validation code.
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I'm not sure how your suggestion
helps. Thanks for the reply, any further ideas would be welcome.

In practice, I've always found that these two-control validators really
key off a single control. For a date range, for example, you're not
going to want to stick up a red warning message before they even get
around to filling in the second box.
But if you really want to fire for each control, it's simple enough.
View source, copy the onchange="..." out of the control that's hooked
up through the validator. Paste it into the unhooked input control,
tweak it to fit your needs, and you're good to go.

No, I see your point. But there are conditions in which this approach is
useful.

source, copy the onchange="..." out of the control that's hooked up
through the validator. Paste it into the unhooked input control, tweak it

Except that the code doesn't seem to hook up to the onchange event.
Truth is, I can't actually see how the client-side validators fire at
all from looking at the HTML produced.
For example, here is the code for the <select> for this control...
<select name="drpFromYe ar" id="drpFromYear ">
<option value="2000">20 00</option>
<option value="2001">20 01</option>
<option value="2002">20 02</option>
<option value="2003">20 03</option>
<option value="2004">20 04</option>
<option value="2005">20 05</option>
</select>
Nothing there to tell the browser to fire the event when the user
changes the control. I can't see anything relevant elsewhere in the file
either.
Any idea? Thanks

Hi there,
If a control is disabled (enabled = false), will the validator controls associated with it automatically know not to carry out validation?
I have a page with a bunch of controls and depending on what is passed in through the querystring, I disable some of those controls in my code-behind. However, my validator controls still seem to be trying to validate the disabled controls.
Cheers :)

Hi all,
Why can't i create a validatorControl as a child of the control to validate?
It doesn't give any errors, but it just won't work (it's not validating).
The reason why i want this is that i'm creating a repository of
WebControls extended/inherited with my own code for repetative use.
For example, i have a: Class CreationDate inherits TextBox
I offcourse want a validator to check is really a date was entered into
the textbox.
