validator client side and navigators ?

[Christophe]

is it normal that my required and range validator work on then client side
only with IE 6 (maybe IE5) and not opera 7, netscape 4.7x, netscape 7 ?
in the generated pages, validation.js is inserted in the code only with IE

why? it's only javascript stuff... the other navigator should be abble to
take it in account , shouldn't they?

Christophe,

Yes, the javascript used in the validators is somtimes not compatible with
other browsers.

The solution is to always validate server side.

If Page.IsValid Then

End If

It's always nice to validate client side when possible, but with so many
browsers to support you can't always trust the client side validation will
work.

Sincerely,
