How to clear the validation summary without posting back - ASP.NET

Here is my dilema.

I have a validation summary that I use soley for my Required Field
Validators. I have it setup to run from a Page.Validate call in the
code-behind, this is because I need to be able to clear text or other various
functions need to be checked before it hits the back side.

That works fine if I do things that way up to a point, if by chance the
validation summary says "Date field required" then I edit the date and input
an incorrect date, which I have a JavaScript validation for, that message
will come up saying how to enter the date. The problem is that the
validation summary is now populated and it wont clear until I hit the server
again.

Is there a way to clear it or make it invisible through JavaScript on some
form function like onsubmit - we are using an external JavaScript file so
that everything is available to all pages, that will allow me to be able to
clear that summary? The final product does not need to show a message after
you hit the submit button unless that message is needed and by turning off
the "CausesValidati on" property for the button then I lose the ability to
have that updated client side.

So to summarize what I am asking:

a)If there is a way to keep the causes validation property as true and still
be able to clear a result label before running that validation then what do I
need to do?

If that is not possible then.

b)If there is a way to clear out the validation summary or make it disappear
until I hit the server side again AFTER re-submitting the form after making
the necessary changes and possibly having an error caught through JavaScript
which will stop the postback?

Thanks,
Cleako

Hi, after coding for days on stupid form validations - Like: strings (min / max length), numbers(min / max value), money(min / max value), postcodes(min / max value), telefon numbers, email adresses and so on. I thought it might be a better way to programm an automated, dynamic form validation that works for all kinds of fields, shows the necessary error messages and highlights the coresponding form fields.

In the file WebUIValidation.js, when a postback that doesn't fail the validation has a javascript error saying summary is undefined in the ValidationSummaryOnSubmit function. Page_ValidationSummaries has a length of 1 but there are no array entries. This is the line that fails: summary.style.display = "none";

I setup some standard Required Field Validation controls and one Custom validation control on an ASP.NET page (within a user control) to validate text entry.

I'm having trouble working with a Summary Validation control. I need to click my submit button twice for the Summary to display when validation errors occur on the page.

In this case one click is sufficient. Once the user selects choice on...

I have a web page with an address entry form and some other things on it. The form has field validators on several of the fields, and a validation summary at the bottom. Because of the size of the form, on a typical screen, you need to scroll to see the bottom of the form, which is where the validation summary is. So when a user presses submit, and gets a validation error, the screen redisplays, but it redisplays from the top with...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
