Stopping client side event validation

[Paul]

Hi all,

I've been trying unsuccessfully to stop client side event validation.
I've created a simple page with a text box, a required field validator
and a server button with the following settings:

1. <pages enableEventVali dation="false"i n web.config
2. EnableClientScr ipt="false" in the required field validator.
3. EnableEventVali dation="false" in the Page directive (which, I know,
is not necessary).

I can programmaticall y check the web.config setting and it is correctly
set to "false".

Whenever the validator is on the form, it generates all of the extra
javascript (the onclick for the button, and the __EVENTTARGET and
__EVENTARGUMENT hidden inputs).

Is there anything I'm missing here? I just want to have server-side
validation without the client script but there doesn't appear to be an
easy way to turn this off.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul

using EnableClientScr ipt="false" will turn off a required validators client
side validation.
this will now be handled server side.

I think you are testing this locally, and confusing the speed of a local
callback with client side validation.

try add a System.Threadin g.Thread.Sleep( 2000) in your page load and see if
there's a difference between EnableClientScr ipt="false" and
EnableClientScr ipt="true"

Hi Grant,

I have this set to false, but it still emits all of the extra
javascript. If I remove the validator, the javascript doesn't get
emitted.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Paul

oh, so you're worried about the javascript in the page.
I thought you were just trying to deactivate it.

Not sure exactly,
if you remake the page from scratch it should work nicely
Just don't add any validators
