The specific of the project is in using Enterpise Library for Server side
validation and jQuery for client-side
validation. So I have the next simple form for example:
<asp:Content ID="_mainContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<script src="../../../Scripts/jquery-1.3.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="../../../Scripts/jquery.validate.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#aspnetForm").validate({
rules: {
"<%= _txtProjectName.UniqueID %>": {
required: true
}
}
});
});
</script>
<asp:TextBox ID="_txtProjectName" runat="server" CssClass="textBoxWithValidator_long" />
<entlib:PropertyProxyValidator id="_validatorProjectName" runat="server" ControlToValidate="_txtProjectName"
PropertyName="ProjectName" SourceTypeName="LabManagement.Project.Project" />
<asp:Button CssClass="cell_InlineElement" ID="_btnSave" runat="server" Text="Save" onclick="_btnSave_Click"
Width="50px" />
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" EnablePageMethods="true">
</asp:ScriptManager>
</asp:Content>
The problem is in the next: client-side
validation worked correctly before I needed to implement some AJAX.NET feature. So I have to add to the page ScriptManager (the last two lines in the code). But after that the next situation appeared:
In InternetExplorer((7) - only in IE !!! - in Firefox everything works correctly) after clicking save button, if left the textbox ProjectName empty the client-side jquery
validation appears but (!) the page submits to the server anyway.
Some notes:
If delete PropertyProxyValidator from the page - the client-side
validation works correctly in IE but I need it for specific of the project.
It seems that the problem is in the function WebForm_OnSubmit() that is inserted to the form after PropertyProxyValidator adding. ( ... <form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Project.aspx?TransType=NewProject" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" ...>)
Could anyone help, please.
