ASP.NET 2.0. Lets say i have two Validation Groups valGrpOne and valGrpTwo; and two Validation Summaries valSummOne and valSummTwo; Reason for breaking up sections is purely aesthetic. One submit button which triggers validation on both groups.
I have a simple aspx page with a few TextBoxes and a submit button. Some fields are required and below the button is a ValidationSummary. The complete form is larger than screen height so one has to scroll down to reach the submit button. If I don’t fill all required fields and click on submit validation fails as expected and the validation summary displays some info messages below the button. Validation happens on the client and no postback occurs.
I have run into this problem before but never quite solved it. I have a form with several validators and also a CustomValidator.
A ValidationSummary will show a list of errors on postback. As each field is fixed, it’s validator is fired, and any validation text will disappear. I want to automatically update the ValidationSummary as well.
