Validator code loaded on page

[tshad]

When you use Validators, it increases the size of the page and adds the
following code to your page:

<script language="javas cript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var Page_Validation Active = false;
if (typeof(clientI nformation) != "undefined" &&
clientInformati on.appName.inde xOf("Explorer") != -1) {
if ((typeof(Page_V alidationVer) != "undefined" ) && (Page_Validatio nVer
== "125"))
ValidatorOnLoad ();
}

function ValidatorOnSubm it() {
if (Page_Validatio nActive) {
return ValidatorCommon OnSubmit();
}
return true;
}
// -->
</script>

But some sites just refer to a .js file and the code is not added to the
page, but the code is working as client side code.

For example, DW has objects they call Sprys that do things such as
validations for various object such as textboxes and will shade the textbox
to grey when entering the object then change the object to red on leaving as
well as putting error messages if possible. All of this is happening on the
client page.

The only thing that seems to be getting added is something like:

<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryValidationT extField.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryValidationT extarea.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryValidationS elect.js"
type="text/javascript"></script>

<!--
var sprytextfield1 = new Spry.Widget.Val idationTextFiel d("sprytextfiel d1",
"none", {validateOn:["blur", "change"]});
var sprytextarea2 = new Spry.Widget.Val idationTextarea ("sprytextarea2 ",
{validateOn:["blur", "change"], counterId:"coun tsprytextarea2" ,
minChars:150, var spryselect5 = new
Spry.Widget.Val idationSelect(" spryselect5", {isRequired:fal se,
validateOn:["blur", "change"]});
//-->
</script>

But there is no code to execute and you can't see what it is doing.

If I add anthem (ajax) to my pages it adds a ton of code to the page.

Why is it that Spry doesn't add the code to the page? I would like to build
my javascript into a .js file that doesn't load on the page (just refer to
it).

Thanks,
