aspx thread: Validators


Message #1 by "Bevan Souster" <Bevan.Souster@i...> on Tue, 27 Nov 2001 10:54:33 +1300
I am working with validators from the .NET toolbox to validate a text

box on my webform to insure that it only accepts valid dates.  To do

this I am using a compare validator to perform a datatype check on the

user's input.



This is great but I can't find an easy way to perform a required field

check on the same text box.  I either have to add another validator to

check for this or code my own custom date validator which I am not keen

to do.



Does anyone know an easy way to get a compare or range validator to also

check for the required field?

I remember reading an article stating that this is impossible. Why don't you

want to have 2 validators?

It is not possible to have one validator perform 2 checks like that unless

you write a custom validator.  The accepted way to do this is to have 2

validators...it should make no difference.

Purely because I am displaying an 'x' image next to the relevant fields

and if I have two validators then the 'x' is situated in different

places depending on which validator is invalid.

Through the style property of the control, you can specify an absolute

position.  Just put them both in the same place.

you don't need to use the style property



use the display property of the control and set it to dynamic. behind the scenes

the style will be set to display:none
