HI,
I am trying to validate a portion of asp.net form, each portion has it's checkbox and if checkox is ticked the validation for that portion only should take place.
I have added the html as well.
Group1/2 are place holders id.
Here is a sample problem I have:
When I tick the first checkbox(which is associated with group1 only), a group1(only) validation should happen and validation for second group(Group2) should be ignored. but the result is different, I get validation error message for all textboxes from all groups and submission doesn't happen until I do validate textboxes from unticked portion of the form.....
I appreciate if anyone can help I have a very very...very long form with millions of optional validations...(If I may refer it as such).
Many Thanks
