Possible to fire asp.net validation from jQuery?
- by Abe Miessler
I have a form with several text boxes on it. I only want to accept floats, but it is likely that users will enter a dollar sign. I'm using the following code to remove dollar signs and validate the content:
jQuery:
$("#<%= tb.ClientID %>").change(function() {
var ctrl = $("#<%= tb.ClientID %>");
ctrl.val(ctrl.val().replace('$',''))
});
asp.net validation:
<asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator4" runat="server" Type="Double" ControlToValidate="tb" Operator="DataTypeCheck" ValidationGroup="vld_Page" ErrorMessage="Some error" />
My problem is that when someone enters a dollar sign in the TextBox "tb" and changes focus the validation happens first and THEN the jQuery removes the dollar sign. Is it possible to have the jQuery run first or to force the validation to run again after the jQuery executes?
