Hi all,
in a test page with several validation controls, I put also a ValidationSummary to have pop-up tells some errors occurs, but when I run the page (with errors), none pop-up get up.
My code is this:

<asp:ValidationSummary runat="server"
  ShowMessageBox="true"
  ShowSummary="true"
  HeaderText="Errors on input" />

Why this appear?

Thanks in advance.

Luigi

Hi Luigi,

I am not sure what the problem is. Are you getting the alert box or not?

"Why this appear?" seems to suggest you get the box, which is the right behavior when ShowMessageBox is set to true.

If you're not getting the alert box, can you show us the rest of the code for the page?

It's the exact opposite Imar, the pop-up don't appears.

And I don't know why.

Can you post the relevant code?

After I set the ShowMessagebox to true and the Show Summary to false the the message box does not display when there are errors on the page. I have included the code for the control and the page. Thank you for your assistance.

C# code from the Control
 protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
    {
        if (txtPhoneHome.Text != string.Empty || txtPhoneBusiness.Text != string.Empty)
        {
            args.IsValid = true;
        }
        else
        {
            args.IsValid = false;
        }
    }
Control Code Source

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ContactForm.ascx.cs" Inherits="Controls_ContactForm" %>
<style type="text/css">
    .style1
    {
        width: 100%;
    }
    .style2
    {
        width: 314px;
    }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidatePhoneNumbers(source, args)
{
    var txtPhoneHome = document.getElementById('<%= txtPhoneHome.ClientID %>');
    var txtBusinessPhone = document.getElementById('<%= txtPhoneBusiness.ClientID %>');
    if (txtPhoneNumber.value !=' ' || txtPhoneBusiness.Value != ' ')
    {
        args.IsValid = true;
    }
    else
    {
        args.IsValid = false;
    {

Thanks for your assistance Imar. Correcting the brace issue resolved the script warning issue and allowed the Alert box to display as it should when errors exists.

Cheers,

Brian
