Trouble with Page_ClientValidate

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

My application is built in VB.net. I dynamically add textboxes and RequiredFieldValidator. The name of the validation group is vgFormVals.

On my page, i execute this function

if (Page_ClientValidate('vgFormVals')) return false;

without ever filling in the required fields. The function fails to return false.

I also have a treeview on the page. If I select a node in the treeview first and then run the function above, it works.

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

Found my issue. Some of my required validator fields had white space in the id. For example id = "rfv somevalue". Fixing this fixed my problem, but doesnt explain why it works in the other scenario I mentioned above.
