CustomValidator 1

[LV]

I have a text box with a CustomValidator control that is looking at a client side javascript. The problem is, the validator is not validating the field, if it's empty. I cannot use a RequieredField validator, 'cause validation depends on another check box control. I was hoping that validation will always run and the script will validate the text box, depending on the state of that checkbox. Any ideas?

LV,
Have you thought about putting the validator on the check box instead? That way it will validate only when the box is checked and you can have it validate that textbox?

Yes I have, but it throws an error saying that validation is prohibited on this type of control (checkbox).

Would you mind posting the code I can perhaps try it myself, and see if I can find a way?

kenbw: I found the solution, which turned out to be pretty easy. Here is an article, explaining how to twitch validators using both client and server side APIs:

Works pretty cool, especialy like in my case, you need to perform conditional validations. Thanks anyways!
