DW and asp.net: validator problem?

[Jerome]

Hi,

I've created an asp.net insert page in DW MX 2004 using the wizard. The
page works alright and the data entered is saved. I've then also added
validators to certain controls, but they're not used!? Meaning the
record gets saved even if some fields that have a validator connected to
it are empty!

What am I doing wrong or what is missing?

Thanks,

Jerome

Hi,

I've now replaced the normal submit button with a 'runat="server"'
button and activated the 'causes validation' option.

I've tried that page with Firefox: ignores the validators, saves the data.

Now the same page with Internet Explorer: the validators work!!

Why does it fail with Firefox though???? :(

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Jerome

Because the .NET Validator controls will only output client validation code
for IE, you should never rely on client validation.



The main problem is because your using DreamweaverCtrls, MM built this in
too much of a hurry and failed to include a check of Page.IsValid before
inserting/updating DB data, DreamweaverCtrls will always blindly insert to
the DB regardless is the page is valid or not.



Download our modified version of DreamweaverCtrls which corrects this and
many other problems.
