Hi to all,

I am working on formview control.
I wrote everything for inserting data by using textboxes in formview control but now I want to validate textboxes.

I wrote javascript for validations not to accept blank values into textboxes.

I have taken two buttons in <Insert itemtemplate> and whenever I press the close button I want to validate my textbox.

I have created a funtion as below.
Please any one can help me.
Thanks in advance

XML

<script id="CloseNotesFormView" language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                function validate() {
                       if (document.getElementById("<%=NotesTextBox.ClientID%>").value == "") {
                           alert("You cant close the issue without Note");
                           document.getElementById("<%=NotesTextBox.ClientID%>").focus();
                           return false;
                       }
                       else {
                           alert("Issue has been successfully closed");
                           return true;
                       }
                                     }
               </script>

                           ValidationGroup="CloseNote" />

Don't validate black values, simply filter them out, so the user cannot enter them.

For example:

HTML

<html>
    <head>
        <script type="text/javascript"><!--
            function filterBlank(eventInstance) {
                eventInstance = eventInstance || window.event;
                    key = eventInstance.keyCode || eventInstance.which;
                if (key != 32) {
                    return true;
                } else {
                        if (eventInstance.preventDefault)
                             eventInstance.preventDefault();
                        eventInstance.returnValue = false;
                        return false;
                    } //if
            } //filterBlank
        --></script>
    </head>
<body>
<input type="text" onkeypress="filterBlank(event)"/>
</body>
</html>
