hi guys,

there seems to be a strange problem with validator controls. :(

steps to make it behave strangely (Code given below):
1. Enter a value in the first text box.
2. Move focus to second text box.
3. Delete the text in the first text box.
4. Use the MOUSE to give focus to the second text box.

Behavior that i got:
The validator control becomes editable! plus you can delete all content along with the textbox to validate!!!!!

What kind of behavior is this? do we have any MSDN support articles for the same???

Code for the testing:
Code: 
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
	<HEAD>
		<title>TestValidator</title>
		<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 7.1">
		<meta name="CODE_LANGUAGE" content="Visual Basic .NET 7.1">
		<meta name="vs_defaultClientScript" content="JavaScript">
		<meta name="vs_targetSchema" content="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5">[/URL]
	</HEAD>
	<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout">
		<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
			<TABLE id="Table1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 8px" cellSpacing="1"
				cellPadding="1" width="700" border="1">
				<TR>
					<TD><STRONG>Mandatory Validation</STRONG></TD>
					<TD></TD>
				</TR>
				<TR>
					<TD>Empty Label</TD>
					<TD>
						<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" EmptyLabel="Enter the value!!" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
						<asp:RequiredFieldValidator id="RequiredFieldValidator1" runat="server" ErrorMessage="<br>RequiredFieldValidator"
							ControlToValidate="TextBox1" Display="Dynamic"></asp:RequiredFieldValidator></TD>
				</TR>
				<TR>
					<TD>Empty Label</TD>
					<TD>
						<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" EmptyLabel="Enter the value!!" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</TD>
				</TR>
			</TABLE>
		</form>
	</body>
</HTML>

I don't see that behavior in any browser (IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera).

I used version 2.0 of the framework and yes, I used the mouse to give focus to the second TextBox.

I don't know why this happens, but your problem is in this line, remove the "<br>" tag:
Code: 
ErrorMessage="[b]<br>[/b]RequiredFieldValidator"

Also, this code is not valid, but not causing the problem:
Code: 
EmptyLabel="Enter the value!!"

oops,

dude, I am testing out something with our controls, EmptyLabel was placed because of that (just a dummy attribute).

so you ARE able to recieve this error right (i want the BR in place so that error comes in the next line! this also happens when a row is set inbetween for the validator)???

guys,

kindly reply to this post, i want to raise this issue with microsoft (or has this already been raised? can i find where this can be found?)


or even better do you guys know any websites where such code is taken up and tested and then forwarded to the right authority???

You can go to to register with MS and provide feedback to them. However, have you thought that this may not be an ASP.NET bug and could be an issue with your browser?

yup, thats exactly my thought but unfortunately i am unable to get it through to a couple of guys in my organisation, they want proof that this is a browser issue (in the form of an article by microsoft or some other reliable resource or some kind of proof).

thats exaclty whta i am looking for...

vbkris,
I am getting the same issue you have using IE6 with your code. The problem I found is the <br> tag. Once I removed it, it worked correctly.

yup,

i agree jim, but i have a constraint in changing the same (the error messages are supposed to be displayed below the respective controls)...

You'll need to encode the tags then. Use &lt; and &gt; respectively.

No, it won't solve the ASP.NET issue but it will allow you to put a line break in you validator control which is what you wanted to do.

the normal <br> itself seems to be working fine for that, it does not require me to encode them...

Maybe you aren't experiencing the same issue as he did.

i think he was speaking about the error being something like this:
ErrorMessage="RequiredFieldValidator"

rather than
ErrorMessage="&lt;br&gt;RequiredFieldValidator"
