Disabling RequiredFieldValidator for hidden fields - javascript

I have a dropdownlist that should be mandatory when not hidden, so i have a RequiredFieldValidator for this.
<table runat="server" id="tblLocations" class="ts1">
<tr>
<td class="tr0">
Location:
</td>
<td>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddlLocations" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rfvDdlLocations" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlLocations" InitialValue="0" validationgroup="LocationValidation" ErrorMessage="Please select a Location" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
When a radio button is selected I set the visibility of this table to false.
I want to disable validation of this field when not visible so I set this on the radio button changed event:
rfvDdlLocations.Enabled = tblLocations.Visible;
This doesn't disable the verification however.
I have tried using JQuery as suggested elsewhere but this has no effect either:
<script type="text/javascript">
$("[id$='btnDelegate']").click(function () {
if (!$("[id$='tblLocations']").is(':visible')) {
ValidatorEnable($("[id$='rfvDdlLocations']")[0], false);
}
//ValidationSummaryOnSubmit("LoginUserValidationGroup");
if (Page_ClientValidate("LocationValidation")) {
alert('it is valid');
return true;
}
else {
alert('Not valid');
return false;
}
});

you should use a customvalidator in this case as below
<asp:CustomValidator ID="cvDdlLocations" runat="server" ControlToValidate="ddlLocations" ValidationGroup="LocationValidation" ErrorMessage="Please select a Location" OnServerValidate="cvDdlLocations_ServerValidate" ClientValidationFunction="validateLocation" />
and for client validation
function validateLocation(s, args) {
if($('#'<%= Radio.ClientID %>).is(':checked')){
args.IsValid = true;
}
else {
args.IsValid = $('#<%= ddlLocations.ClientID%>').val() != "0";
}
}
and for server validation
protected void cvPrice2Edit_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
args.IsValid = true;
if(!Radio.Checked) {
args.IsValid = ddlLocations.SelectedValue != "0";
}
}
I hope this helps

How to make asp textbox empty by JavaScript

I have got a problem with making textbox empty using JavaScript function.
If checkbox is unchecked the asp:Textbox should make disabled and empty.
It happens, but in code behind all the time is visible previous value which was entered before in that textbox.
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx_no" runat="server" Text="NO" GroupName="optradio1" onclick="CheckBoxChangedDisableFx(this);" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx" runat="server" Text="YES" GroupName="optradio1" onclick="CheckBoxChangedAbleFx(this);" />
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" Enabled="false" />
<script>
function CheckBoxChangedAbleFx(checkbox) {
if (checkbox.checked == true) {
document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = false;
}
}
function CheckBoxChangedDisableFx(checkbox) {
if (checkbox.checked == true) {
document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').value = "";
document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = true;
}
}
</script>
Any ideas what is wrong in my code?
This problem is called the Cacheing the browser data. You can try three things in this case:
1) Clear value of textbox in pageload event at every postback:
if (IsPostBack)
{
txt_fx.text = "";
}
and in your aspx code make text="":
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" Text="".../>
2) Set AutoComplete property of textbox to off for html input
or disable autocompletetype property of asp textbox
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" autocompletetype="disabled".../>
3) or Set AutoComplete of your FORM tag of your page to "off"
If you want to clear actual value of textbox on server side without postback then you need to use AJAX.
Hope it will help you..!!
in .cs file,Page_Load method,plus such code:
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
radio_fx.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return CheckBoxChangedState(this,false);");
radio_fx_no.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return CheckBoxChangedState(this,true);");
}
and in .aspx file,change as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">
function CheckBoxChangedState(checkbox, state) {
if (checkbox.checked == true) {
document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').value = "";
document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = state;
}
}
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx_no" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false" Text="NO" GroupName="optradio1" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false" Text="YES" GroupName="optradio1" />

Javascript not working on asp:Datalist checkbox onchange

This is a Datalist in my code.
<asp:DataList runat="server" ID="dlstate" RepeatColumns="6">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox runat="server" ID="chk" Text='<%#Eval("area_state") %>' OnCheckedChanged="chk_state_SelectedIndexChanged" onchange="return checkconfirm(this);" AutoPostBack="true" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
This is the Javascript code.
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkconfirm(a) {
if (a.checked == true) {
return true;
}
else {
debugger;
var box = confirm("Are you sure you want to unselect this state as areas alloted under this state will be lost?");
if (box == true)
return true;
else {
a.checked = true;
return false;
}
}
}
</script>
The problem is that when this apsx page is rendered in html the onchange="return checkconfirm(this);" appears on a span rather than the checkbox. I have tried several ways for confirmation and yet I am not able to put the onchange event on the checkbox.
You can use a jQuery listener for this.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#<%= dlstate.ClientID %> input[type='checkbox']").change(function () {
if (!$(this).prop("checked")) {
var box = confirm("Are you sure you want to unselect this state as areas alloted under this state will be lost?");
if (box == true)
return true;
else {
$(this).prop("checked", "checked");
return false;
}
}
});
});
</script>

Validating Textbox with CustomValidator's ClientValidationFunction not firing

I am having some serious issues with this. I have a two fields like this, both of them being assigned datepickers with jquery.
<asp:TextBox ID="RTRP" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry" Width="120"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ID="CustomValidator3"
ControlToValidate="RTRP"
Text="No date selected"
ValidateEmptyText="True"
ClientValidationFunction="clientValidate"
Display="Static">
</asp:CustomValidator>
<asp:TextBox ID="ContEd" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry" Width="120"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ID="CustomValidator1"
ControlToValidate="ContEd"
Text="No date selected"
ValidateEmptyText="True"
ClientValidationFunction="clientValidate"
Display="Static">
</asp:CustomValidator>
With the following javascript to validate it.
$("#<%=RTRP.ClientID %>").datepicker();
$("#<%=ContEd.ClientID %>").datepicker();
function clientValidate(sender, args) {
args.IsValid = args.Value.length > 0;
}
Both get their datepickers, but the validation function simply refuses to be fired and always allows the form to submit. I am completely lost here, what am I doing wrong?
You are checking if a string's length is less than 0 (what is never true) here:
function clientValidate(sender, args) {
if (args.Value.length < 0) {
args.IsValid = false;
} else {
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
I'm not sure if this is what you want(you could simpy use a RequiredFieldValidator), but...
function clientValidate(sender, args) {
args.IsValid = args.Value.length > 0;
}
If you assign $.datepicker() behaviour to any text, and run page.. you will find that textbox on which you override jQuery datepicker had css set display : none.. so that might be the reason that custom validation not getting for that textbox...
why dont you use
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="id" controltovalidate="controlname" erormessage="please enter the dates">
</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
correct me i am wrong
Change you method to this.and try again
function clientValidate(sender, args)
{
if(Page_ClientValidate())
{
if (args.Value.length < 0)
{
args.IsValid = false;
} else
{
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
}

ASP.NET Password and Confirmation in ClientSideEvents

I have 2 ASPxTextBox, ASPxValidationSummary and ASPxButton
In JS file there is OnPasswordValidation function
But when i type a password then click Tab button the SetIsValid(false)
on txt_password control doesn't work but it work on txt_ConfirmPassword
Why ?
<dx:ASPxTextBox ID="txt_password" runat="server" Password="true" AssociatedControlID="txt_password">
<ClientSideEvents Validation="OnPasswordValidation" />
</dx:ASPxTextBox>
<dx:ASPxTextBox ID="txt_ConfirmPassword" runat="server" Password="true" AssociatedControlID="txt_ConfirmPassword">
<ClientSideEvents Validation="OnPasswordValidation" />
</dx:ASPxTextBox>
<dx:ASPxButton ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" ClientInstanceName="btnSubmit" onclick="btnSubmit_Click" AutoPostBack="False">
<ClientSideEvents Click="function(s, e) {onClickBtnSubmit();}"/>
</dx:ASPxButton>
function OnPasswordValidation(s, e) {
var objpassword = GetObj('txt_password');
var objConfirmPassword = GetObj('txt_ConfirmPassword');
var password = aspxGetControlCollection().Get(objpassword.id);
var ConfirmPassword = aspxGetControlCollection().Get(objConfirmPassword.id);
if (password.GetValue() == null) {
password.SetIsValid(false);
ConfirmPassword.SetIsValid(false);
return;
}
if (ConfirmPassword.GetValue() == null) {
password.SetIsValid(false);
ConfirmPassword.SetIsValid(false);
return;
}
if (password.GetValue().length > 5 || ConfirmPassword.GetValue().length > 5) {
if (password.GetValue() == ConfirmPassword.GetValue()) {
password.SetIsValid(true);
ConfirmPassword.SetIsValid(true);
}
else {
password.SetIsValid(false);
ConfirmPassword.SetIsValid(false);
password.SetErrorText = "Password must equal with Confirm Password";
ConfirmPassword.SetErrorText = "Password must equal with Confirm Password";
}
}
else {
ConfirmPassword.SetIsValid(false);
password.SetIsValid(false);
}
}
This is not a proper way to implement validation. This way OnPasswordValidation function is executed twice, once for every textbox.
Here is a ticket with sample project that should do what you need:
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q233058.aspx
I advice you to read DevExpress controls validation overview in order to understand how to implement validation on devex controls.

check box validation for atleast one check box should cheked in asp.net

I have asp.net form having 4 check boxes. not check box list. these 4 check boxes having the ValidationGroup property with same name say "chkValied". I have added Custom Validator there. now want to check at least on check box should be check out of these. what to do ?
You can use CustomValidator to validate input at client-side or server-side code.
aspx markup
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" />
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox2" runat="server" />
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox3" runat="server" />
<asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox4" runat="server" />
<asp:CustomValidator
ID="CustomValidator1"
runat="server"
ErrorMessage="put here error description"
ClientValidationFunction="clientfunc"
OnServerValidate="CheckValidate">
</asp:CustomValidator>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
.cs (code-behind)
protected void CheckValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
args.IsValid=false;
if (CheckBox1.Checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (CheckBox2.Checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (CheckBox3.Checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (CheckBox4.Checked)
args.IsValid = true;
}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (IsValid)
{
//valid
}
else
{
//Invalid
}
}
JavaScript code
<script type="text/javascript">
function clientfunc(sender, args) {
args.IsValid = false;
if (document.getElementById("CheckBox1").checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (document.getElementById("CheckBox2").checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (document.getElementById("CheckBox3").checked)
args.IsValid = true;
if (document.getElementById("CheckBox4").checked)
args.IsValid = true;
}
</script>

If you are using custom validator such thing could be achieved with an or-statement:
if (chkBox1.Checked || chkBox2.Checked || chkBox3.Checked)
{
// At least 1 checkbox was checked.
}
This applies to all languages (although || is not universal all languages has a representation of it). In JavaScript you'd want .Value instead of .Checked.
