Javascript Validition and Required Validator

[Jim Heavey]

Hello, I created a simple javascipt routine to do some validation. I
attached that script to my ASP Button with the following code...
cmdAddTask.Attributes["onclick"] = "javascript:return
ValidateItemsSelected(lstSelectedGroupOwners, spnErrSelectedGroupOwners);";

After I did this, my "asp:requiredvalidator" stopped working. If I remove
the code above, and re-run, my ASP RequiredValidator works just fine.

I am guess that I am clobbering something....what is the appropriate
technique to get both to work?

Thanks!!

Why not simply use a customValidator in conjuction with the
requiredvalidator that's what it's made for:

if you scroll near the bottom you'll see an example of it using client-side
javascript.

Hope this helps,
Karl

the supported method is to create a custom validator, and let the standard
validation call it. the hack is to call the validation routine yourself. a
view source will give you all the info you need.
