[Anthem.NET-users] Anthem controls with validation

[Ujjaval S. <uj...@gm...>]

Hey all,

I have a webform created using Anthem controls.  I have got textboxes and
dropdownlists. I was wondering, what is the best way to validate the
controls while using Anthem. Does the standard ASP .NET controls work just
fine?? I have got javascript file for validations which I can use where on
button click event, all validation occurs. But somehow my javascript is not
working properly and so as my form. What I have done is like this,

during the page load, I am adding an attribute for textbox as "
txtbox1.Attributes.Add("required","yes");" to have the validation for the
value required. At the end, on the submit button, I have added this
attribute: "btn_submit.Attributes.Add("onClick","validate(document.Form1);
return document.formSubmit");" where validate() is the function in my
javascript which scans through all the form elements and look for the
attribute like "required" as set in my textbox above.

Now, my submit button has two states: 1. Ok, 2. Update. before I used
validators, it worked fine because there was not javascript. But because of
the javascript, somehow, it just keeps calling my button click event which
should only occur once at a time.

Any ideas on this?? Any better idea to perform validations on forms with
Anthem controls.?

Thanks in advance,
Ujjaval
