client side validation order; making it fail fast.

Basically a javascript confirm in a CustomValidator based on some
business logic.

I have a textbox which needs a valid float, so I give it a
RequiredFieldVa lidator and a CompareValidato r with a datatype check.
The text box also checks some business rules thereafter, and throws up
a javascript confirm.

If I put 14a in the box, I don't see the confirm dialog
If I erase the contents it checks the ReqField and then throws up the
javascript confirm dialog.

Its displaying the ReqField text before I see the javascript alert, so
I know its firing.

I've tried checking the args to see if they are already set to false,
they come preset to true. Which I find odd, because if I manually set
them to true it ignores my other validation. That's neither here nor
there though.

Is there a way to check if my other validators have already returned
false? I really hate the javascript nag to begin with, especially if
I already know that its moot.

found it myself.

if (!Page_IsValid) { alert('not valid to begin with'); return; }

unfortunate how difficult certain things are to google.

Hi, I've just published a test web site on the internet with a simple form and some client side validation controls. On my development PC if I click submit without entering any data the validation controls work and prompt me as expected. On the live web server I do exactly the same thing but no validation is performed and the form is submitted. How can this be? Have I missed something in the setup script? I added both the primary...

Hello Guys, I am using the validation controls to validate my data. But the problem is "The page is still being posted to server". I want to get rid of the round trips to server. Are there any get arounds for this problem apart from the traditional JavaScript?

I know that I can use a control's Attributes collection to specify client-side event handlers. I want to add a simple javascript function to pop up a confirmation message for a command button. The problem is that the page uses several client-side field validators so ASP.NET is already using the control's onClick event to call the validation logic. Is it possible to have a custom client-side handler when you're using the validator controls?...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
