Is it possible to use the onclientclick property of a button to do a clientside check. If the check returns true, then fire the onclick event. If the clientside check returns false, don't fire the onclick event.
Is that possible?
UPDATE:
These 2 work:
Stops the form from submitting:
OnClientClick="return false;"
Allows the form to submit:
OnClientClick="return true;"
The next 2 do not work:
// in js script tag
function mycheck() {
return false;
}
// in asp:button tag
OnClientClick="return mycheck();"
// in js script tag
function mycheck() {
return true;
}
// in asp:button tag
OnClientClick="return mycheck();"
It submits the form both times.
Why is that?
You want to add return inside OnClientClick after a function is called. Otherwise, the button will post back even if function returns false.
<asp:button ID="Button1" runat="server" OnClick="Button1_Click"
OnClientClick="return checkValidation()" Text="Submit" />
<script type="text/javascript">
function checkValidation() {
return confirm('Everything ok?');
}
</script>
Sure. If you use return false within your OnClientClick it will prevent any navigation from happening. So you're code would look like:
<asp:LinkButton runat="server" OnClientClick="if(!ValidatePage()) { return false;}" />
Yes you can, In onclientClick function call use preventDefault()
function onclientClickFun(e)
{
if(!IsValidationSuccess)
{
e.preventDefault();
}
}
OR
function onclientClickFun(e)
{
if(!IsValidationSuccess)
{
return false;
}
}
In the server page create the button:
var button1 = new Button();
button1.ServerClick += new EventHandler(button1_ServerClick);
button1.OnClientClick = SetJsForSaveBtn();
button1.Attributes.Add("UseSubmitBehavior", "false");
panel.Controls.Add(button1 );
//Contains the server code
private void saveBtn_ServerClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//do something if ClientClick returns true
}
//Contains the JS code for the page
LiteralControl js = new LiteralControl();
panel.Controls.Add(js);
js.Text =#"<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function(){
function CheckValidationOnClient(){
if(!ValidatePage()){
return false;
}
else{
return true;
}
};
});
</script> ";
private string SetJsForSaveBtn()
{
var jsfunc = #" return CheckValidationOnClient()";
return jsfunc ;
}
I came across this issue too. Did not like to have to put the OnClientClick=return false on every linkbutton. With a simple page it just easier to use an anchor and avoid asp filling the href in for you.
However this is not always possible. So a Simple conclusion is just to inherit the LinkButton and add a variable like AutoPostBack. if false then just override the output with the html or add the OnClientClick in. I dont really like inline tags.
namespace My.WebControls {
[ToolboxData("<{0}:LinkButton runat=server ID=btn></{0}:LinkButton>"), ParseChildren(true), ToolboxItem(true)]
public class LinkButton : System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton {
private bool _postback = true;
[Bindable(true), Category("Behavior"), DefaultValue(true), Description("Gets or Sets the postback click behavior")]
public bool AutoPostBack { get { return _postback; } set { _postback = value; } }
protected override void Render(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer) {
if(!AutoPostBack){
this.OnClientClick = "return false";
}
base.Render(writer);
}
}
}
Many attributes should need to be handled in a ViewState but in this case I think we are good;
first of all apologies for my english.
I'm a newby in json area.
My problem is that i can't parse the data recived in a json response into a asp:LinkButton or whatever asp:element, coz i can't create a correct sintax.
Especifically, What I'm trying to do, is this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$.getJSON("http://www.carqueryapi.com/api/0.3/?callback=?", { cmd: "getMakes", min_year:"1941", max_year:"2012"}, function (data) {
var makes = data.Makes;
for (var i = 0; i < makes.length; i++) {
($("<asp:LinkButton ID=\"lb" + i +"\" runat=\"server\" />").text(makes[i].make_display )).appendTo("#lbProva");
}
});
<script>
<ul id="lbProva" class="lb_prova" >
</ul>
I hope that someone could help me coz i've tryed many possibilities but no one was the right one.
Thank u in advance.
You can't create asp.net server controls in javascript on client side. If you want to use json data on client side, you must apply it to already generated html controls.
Actually, you can create server controls only on a server. So the question is how to pass AJAX call response to server and enforce it to refresh desired area on a page.
First variant
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$.getJSON("http://www.carqueryapi.com/api/0.3/?callback=?", { cmd: "getMakes", year: "2009" },
function (data) {
//The 'data' variable contains all response data.
var makes = $.map(data.Makes, function (make) { return make.make_display; }).join(";");
document.getElementById("<%= CarMakersHiddenField.ClientID %>").value = makes;
__doPostBack("<%= CarMakersUpdatePanel.ClientID %>", "");
});
});
</script>
<asp:UpdatePanel runat="server" ID="CarMakersUpdatePanel" UpdateMode="Conditional">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:HiddenField runat="server" ID="CarMakersHiddenField" />
<asp:BulletedList runat="server" ID="MakersList" DisplayMode="LinkButton">
</asp:BulletedList>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Server code:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MakersList.Items.Clear();
foreach (var maker in CarMakersHiddenField.Value.Split(';'))
{
MakersList.Items.Add(maker);
}
}
Second approach is more siutable if you need to pass to server some complex object like array of makers objects. In that case you can serialize this object to JSON string on client and deserialize it on server. Looks like previous version with bit changes:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$.getJSON("http://www.carqueryapi.com/api/0.3/?callback=?", { cmd: "getMakes", year: "2009" },
function (data) {
//The 'data' variable contains all response data.
var serializedString = Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(data.Makes);
document.getElementById("<%= CarMakersHiddenField.ClientID %>").value = serializedString;
__doPostBack("<%= CarMakersUpdatePanel.ClientID %>", "");
});
});
</script>
Markup left the same as in the first version.
Server code:
[Serializable]
public class Make
{
public string make_id;
public string make_display;
public bool make_is_common;
public string make_country;
}
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MakersList.Items.Clear();
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(CarMakersHiddenField.Value))
{
var serializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Make[]));
using (var stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(CarMakersHiddenField.Value)))
{
var makes = serializer.ReadObject(stream) as Make[];
if (makes != null)
{
foreach (var maker in makes)
{
MakersList.Items.Add(new ListItem(maker.make_display, maker.make_id));
}
}
}
}
}
How can I use JQuery UI Progressbar inside Updatepanel?
When I try to do the following, progresbar is not being updated when it's inside updatepanel.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: 0 });
$("#progressbar").css({ 'background': 'LightYellow' });
$("#progressbar > div").css({ 'background': '#3366CC' });
});
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var counter = 0;
function UpdateProgress() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar("value", counter);
counter = counter + 10;
if (counter >= 100) {
counter = 0;
}
else
setTimeout('UpdateProgress()', 1000);
}
</script>
<asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
<ContentTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button1" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
<asp:panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Visible="True">
<div id="progressbar" style="height:30px;"></div>
</asp:panel>
</ContentTemplate>
</asp:UpdatePanel>
Code-behind:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "temp", "<script language='javascript'>UpdateProgress();</script>", false);
}
You have to re-create the widget since it's destroyed when the UpdatePanel refreshes, like this overall:
var counter = 0;
function createProgressBar() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value: counter })
.css({ 'background': 'LightYellow' })
.children("div").css({ 'background': '#3366CC' });
}
function UpdateProgress() {
$("#progressbar").progressbar("value", counter);
counter = counter + 10;
if (counter >= 100) {
counter = 0;
}
else
setTimeout(UpdateProgress, 1000);
}
$(createProgressBar); //Run it on page load
Sys.WebForms.PageRequestManager.getInstance().add_endRequest(createProgressBar);
This creates the progress bar when the page loads, and also re-runs it when the UpdatePanel comes back (with new elements, where the progress bar widget doesn't exist) by adding the same creation method as a endRequest event handler. Also note we're using the counter (initially 0 still) in the creation method so when re-creating it has the current value.
Another side note is try not to pass strings to setTimeout(), you can pass a function reference directly, like I have above...this will save you headaches later, and be more efficient to boot.
i am using jquery plugin and i got stuck in how to display the confirmation window from code behind and if the user choose "ok" than go ahead delete otherwise ignore.
jConfirm('Can you confirm this?', 'Confirmation Dialog', function(r) {
jAlert('Confirmed: ' + r, 'Confirmation Results');
});
anybody have done similar?
Why do you need to display this from the code behind? The user will initiate an action on the client, which is where this should be done.
If you're trying to put this on a delete button or something that's auto-generated:
$('.delButton').click(function(){
jConfirm('Can you confirm this?', 'Confirmation Dialog', function(r) {
jAlert('Confirmed: ' + r, 'Confirmation Results');
});
}
where .delButton is a class you could add to your delete buttons (or you can do whatever else you need to find which ones you attach this to). if you need you can also put the .live in there so jQuery will auto-hook up on new elements.
After the click, the inner jAlert can be removed and you can do your other logic inside.
it did not work with JConfirm i decided to go with JS
//Aspx:
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" Text="Click Me"
onclick="LinkButton1_Click" />
//JS
<script type="text/javascript">
function MyMethod()
{
if(confirm('Are you sure?'))
{
alert('Deleted');
return true;
}
else
{
alert('Not Deleted');
return false;
}
}
</script>
//Code Behind (C#)
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "return MyMethod();");
}
protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
The following code worked from a LinkButton un ASP.Net
$(".actionLink").click(function() {
var callFrom = $(this);
jConfirm("Are You Sure?",
'Please Confirm',
function(r) {
if (r) {
__doPostBack(callFrom.attr('id').replace(/_/g, '$'), '');
}
});
return false;
});
I need to change color of TextBox whenever its required field validator is fired on Clicking the Submit button
What you can do is register a Javascript function that will iterate through the global Page_Validators array after submission and you can set the background appropriately. The nice thing about this is that you can use it on all of your controls on the page. The function looks like this:
function fnOnUpdateValidators()
{
for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++)
{
var val = Page_Validators[i];
var ctrl = document.getElementById(val.controltovalidate);
if (ctrl != null && ctrl.style != null)
{
if (!val.isvalid)
ctrl.style.background = '#FFAAAA';
else
ctrl.style.backgroundColor = '';
}
}
}
The final step is to register the script with the OnSubmit event:
VB.NET:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(Me.GetType, "val", "fnOnUpdateValidators();")
C#:
Page.ClientScript.RegisterOnSubmitStatement(this.GetType(), "val", "fnOnUpdateValidators();");
You'll maintain the proper IsValid status in all of your code behind and it can work with all of your controls.
Note: I found this solution from the following blog. I just wanted to document it here in the event the source blog goes down.
You can very easily override ASP.NET's javascript function that updates the display of validated fields. This is a nice option as you can keep your existing Field Validators, and don't have to write any custom validation logic or go looking for the fields to validate. In the example below I'm adding/removing an 'error' class from the parent element that has class 'control-group' (because I'm using twitter bootstrap css):
/**
* Re-assigns the ASP.NET validation JS function to
* provide a more flexible approach
*/
function UpgradeASPNETValidation() {
if (typeof (Page_ClientValidate) != "undefined") {
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay = ValidatorUpdateDisplay;
ValidatorUpdateDisplay = NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay;
}
}
/**
* This function is called once for each Field Validator, passing in the
* Field Validator span, which has helpful properties 'isvalid' (bool) and
* 'controltovalidate' (string = id of the input field to validate).
*/
function NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay(val) {
// Do the default asp.net display of validation errors (remove if you want)
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay(val);
// Add our custom display of validation errors
if (val.isvalid) {
// do whatever you want for invalid controls
$('#' + val.controltovalidate).closest('.control-group').removeClass('error');
} else {
// reset invalid controls so they display as valid
$('#' + val.controltovalidate).closest('.control-group').addClass('error');
}
}
// Call UpgradeASPNETValidation after the page has loaded so that it
// runs after the standard ASP.NET scripts.
$(document).ready(UpgradeASPNETValidation);
This is adapted ever-so-slightly from here and with helpful info from these articles.
You could use CustomValidator instead of RequiredFieldValidator:
.ASPX
<asp:CustomValidator ID="CustomValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage=""
ControlToValidate="TextBox1" ClientValidationFunction="ValidateTextBox"
OnServerValidate="CustomValidator1_ServerValidate"
ValidateEmptyText="True"></asp:CustomValidator>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<script src="jquery-1.2.6.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateTextBox(source, args)
{
var is_valid = $("#TextBox1").val() != "";
$("#TextBox1").css("background-color", is_valid ? "white" : "red");
args.IsValid = is_valid;
}
</script>
.CS
protected void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
bool is_valid = TextBox1.Text != "";
TextBox1.BackColor = is_valid ? Color.White : Color.Red;
args.IsValid = is_valid;
}
Logic in client and server validation functions is the same, but the client function uses jQuery to access textbox value and modify its background color.
Very late to the party, but just in case someone else stumbles across this and wants a complete answer which works with Bootstrap, I've taken all the examples above, and made a version which will work with multiple validators attached to a single control, and will work with validation groups:
<script>
/**
* Re-assigns the ASP.NET validation JS function to
* provide a more flexible approach
*/
function UpgradeASPNETValidation() {
if (typeof (Page_ClientValidate) != "undefined") {
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay = ValidatorUpdateDisplay;
ValidatorUpdateDisplay = NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay;
AspValidatorValidate = ValidatorValidate;
ValidatorValidate = NicerValidatorValidate;
// Remove the error class on each control group before validating
// Store a reference to the ClientValidate function
var origValidate = Page_ClientValidate;
// Override with our custom version
Page_ClientValidate = function (validationGroup) {
// Clear all the validation classes for this validation group
for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
if ((typeof(Page_Validators[i].validationGroup) == 'undefined' && !validationGroup) ||
Page_Validators[i].validationGroup == validationGroup) {
$("#" + Page_Validators[i].controltovalidate).parents('.form-group').each(function () {
$(this).removeClass('has-error');
});
}
}
// Call the original function
origValidate(validationGroup);
};
}
}
/**
* This function is called once for each Field Validator, passing in the
* Field Validator span, which has helpful properties 'isvalid' (bool) and
* 'controltovalidate' (string = id of the input field to validate).
*/
function NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay(val) {
// Do the default asp.net display of validation errors (remove if you want)
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay(val);
// Add our custom display of validation errors
// IF we should be paying any attention to this validator at all
if ((typeof (val.enabled) == "undefined" || val.enabled != false) && IsValidationGroupMatch(val, AspValidatorValidating)) {
if (!val.isvalid) {
// Set css class for invalid controls
var t = $('#' + val.controltovalidate).parents('.form-group:first');
t.addClass('has-error');
}
}
}
function NicerValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event) {
AspValidatorValidating = validationGroup;
AspValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event);
}
// Call UpgradeASPNETValidation after the page has loaded so that it
// runs after the standard ASP.NET scripts.
$(function () {
UpgradeASPNETValidation();
});
</script>
I liked Rory's answer, but it doesn't work well with ValidationGroups, certainly in my instance where I have two validators on one field triggered by two different buttons.
The problem is that ValidatorValidate will mark the validator as 'isValid' if it is not in the current ValidationGroup, but our class-changing code does not pay any attention. This meant the the display was not correct (certainly IE9 seems to not like to play).
so to get around it I made the following changes:
/**
* Re-assigns the ASP.NET validation JS function to
* provide a more flexible approach
*/
function UpgradeASPNETValidation() {
if (typeof (Page_ClientValidate) != "undefined") {
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay = ValidatorUpdateDisplay;
ValidatorUpdateDisplay = NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay;
AspValidatorValidate = ValidatorValidate;
ValidatorValidate = NicerValidatorValidate;
}
}
/**
* This function is called once for each Field Validator, passing in the
* Field Validator span, which has helpful properties 'isvalid' (bool) and
* 'controltovalidate' (string = id of the input field to validate).
*/
function NicerValidatorUpdateDisplay(val) {
// Do the default asp.net display of validation errors (remove if you want)
AspValidatorUpdateDisplay(val);
// Add our custom display of validation errors
// IF we should be paying any attention to this validator at all
if ((typeof (val.enabled) == "undefined" || val.enabled != false) && IsValidationGroupMatch(val, AspValidatorValidating)) {
if (val.isvalid) {
// do whatever you want for invalid controls
$('#' + val.controltovalidate).parents('.control-group:first').removeClass('error');
} else {
// reset invalid controls so they display as valid
//$('#' + val.controltovalidate).parents('.control-group:first').addClass('error');
var t = $('#' + val.controltovalidate).parents('.control-group:first');
t.addClass('error');
}
}
}
function NicerValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event) {
AspValidatorValidating = validationGroup;
AspValidatorValidate(val, validationGroup, event);
}
// Call UpgradeASPNETValidation after the page has loaded so that it
// runs after the standard ASP.NET scripts.
$(document).ready(UpgradeASPNETValidation);
in css:
.form-control
{
width: 100px;
height: 34px;
padding: 6px 12px;
font-size: 14px;
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
.form-control-Error
{

font-size: 14px;
color: #EBB8C4;
background-color: #F9F2F4
border: 1px solid #DB7791;
border-radius: 4px;
}
in your page:
<asp:TextBox ID="txtUserName" runat="server" CssClass="form-control"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidatorrunat="server"Display="Dynamic" ErrorMessage="PLease Enter UserName" ControlToValidate="txtUserName"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
at the end of your page above of
<script type="text/javascript">
function WebForm_OnSubmit() {
if (typeof (ValidatorOnSubmit) == "function" && ValidatorOnSubmit() == false) {
for (var i in Page_Validators) {
try {
var control = document.getElementById(Page_Validators[i].controltovalidate);
if (!Page_Validators[i].isvalid) {
control.className = "form-control-Error";
} else {
control.className = "form-control";
}
} catch (e) { }
}
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>
I liked Alexander's answer, but wanted the javascript to be more generic. So, here is a generic way of consuming the errors from a custom validator.
function ValidateTextBox(source, args) {
var cntrl_id = $(source).attr("controltovalidate");
var cntrl = $("#" + cntrl_id);
var is_valid = $(cntrl).val() != "";
is_valid ? $(cntrl).removeClass("error") : $(cntrl).addClass("error");
args.IsValid = is_valid;
}
Another possibility... this code gives a red border (or whatever you put inside the CSS class) to the control to validate (works for dropdownlists and textbox, but can be extended for buttons etc...)
First of, I make use of a CustomValidator instead of a RequiredFieldValidator, because then you can use the ClientValidationFunction of the CustomValidator to change the CSS of the control to validate.
For example: change the border of a textbox MyTextBox when a user forgot to fill it in. The CustomValidator for the MyTextBox control would look like this:
<asp:CustomValidator ID="CustomValidatorMyTextBox" runat="server" ErrorMessage=""
Display="None" ClientValidationFunction="ValidateInput"
ControlToValidate="MyTextBox" ValidateEmptyText="true"
ValidationGroup="MyValidationGroup">
</asp:CustomValidator>
Or it could also work for a dropdownlist in which a selection is required. The CustomValidator would look the same as above, but with the ControlToValidate pointing to the dropdownlist.
For the client-side script, make use of JQuery. The ValidateInput method would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function ValidateInput(source, args)
{
var controlName = source.controltovalidate;
var control = $('#' + controlName);
if (control.is('input:text')) {
if (control.val() == "") {
control.addClass("validation");
args.IsValid = false;
}
else {
control.removeClass("validation");
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
else if (control.is('select')) {
if (control.val() == "-1"[*] ) {
control.addClass("validation");
args.IsValid = false;
}
else {
control.removeClass("validation");
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
}
</script>
The “validation” class is a CSS class that contains the markup when the validator is fired. It could look like this:
.validation { border: solid 2px red; }
PS: to make the border color work for the dropdown list in IE,
add the following meta tag to the page's heading: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />.
[*]This is the same as the “InitialValue” of a RequiredFieldValidator. This is the item that is selected as default when the user hasn’t selected anything yet.
I know this is old, but I have another modified combination from Dillie-O and Alexander. This uses jQuery with the blur event to remove the style when validation succeeds.
function validateFields() {
try {
var count = 0;
var hasFocus = false;
for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
var val = Page_Validators[i];
var ctrl = document.getElementById(val.controltovalidate);
validateField(ctrl, val);
if (!val.isvalid) { count++; }
if (!val.isvalid && hasFocus === false) {
ctrl.focus(); hasFocus = true;
}
}
if (count == 0) {
hasFocus = false;
}
}
catch (err) { }
}
function validateField(ctrl, val)
{
$(ctrl).blur(function () { validateField(ctrl, val); });
if (ctrl != null && $(ctrl).is(':disabled') == false) { // && ctrl.style != null
val.isvalid ? $(ctrl).removeClass("error") : $(ctrl).addClass("error");
}
if ($(ctrl).hasClass('rdfd_') == true) { //This is a RadNumericTextBox
var rtxt = document.getElementById(val.controltovalidate + '_text');
val.isvalid ? $(rtxt).removeClass("error") : $(rtxt).addClass("error");
}
}
I too liked Alexanders and Steves answer but I wanted the same as in codebehind. I think this code might do it but it differes depending on your setup. My controls are inside a contentplaceholder.
protected void cvPhone_ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
bool is_valid = !string.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Value);
string control = ((CustomValidator)source).ControlToValidate;
((TextBox)this.Master.FindControl("ContentBody").FindControl(control)).CssClass = is_valid ? string.Empty : "inputError";
args.IsValid = is_valid;
}
Another way,
$(document).ready(function() {
HighlightControlToValidate();
$('#<%=btnSave.ClientID %>').click(function() {
if (typeof (Page_Validators) != "undefined") {
for (var i = 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
if (!Page_Validators[i].isvalid) {
$('#' + Page_Validators[i].controltovalidate).css("background", "#f3d74f");
}
else {
$('#' + Page_Validators[i].controltovalidate).css("background", "white");
}
}
}
});
});

Here's some self-contained HTML/JS that does the trick:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function mkclr(cntl,clr) {
document.getElementById(cntl).style.backgroundColor = clr;
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
<input type="textbox" id="tb1"></input>
<input type="submit" value="Go"
onClick="javascript:mkclr('tb1','red');">
</input>
</form>
</body>
</html>
I had to make a few changes to Steve's suggestion to get mine working,
function ValidateTextBox(source, args) {
var controlId = document.getElementById(source.controltovalidate).id;
var control = $("#" + controlId);
var value = control.val();
var is_valid = value != "";
is_valid ? control.removeClass("error") : control.addClass("error");
args.IsValid = is_valid;
}
great example though, exactly what I needed.

It is not exactly without changing controls user used to, but I think this way is easier (not writing the full example, I think it is not necessary):
ASP.NET:
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
<asp:CustomValidator runat="server" ControlToValidate="TextBox1" Display="Dynamic" Text="TextBox1 Not Set" ValidateEmptyText="true" OnServerValidate="ServerValidate" />
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Execute" />
Code:
protected void Execute(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid)
{
*some code*
}
}
protected void ServerValidate(object source, ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
CustomValidator cval = source as CustomValidator;
if (cval == null)
{
args.IsValid = false;
return;
}
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Value))
{
args.IsValid = false;
string _target = cval.ControlToValidate;
TextBox tb = cval.Parent.FindControl(_target) as TextBox;
tb.BorderColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
}
else
{
args.IsValid = true;
}
}
