CompareValidator gets triggered on Page.IsValid but valid client side? 1

[modika11]

Hi All

i have:

                <label for="txtProductHeight">Height:</label>
                <asp:TextBox ID="txtProductHeight" runat="server" MaxLength="10" Columns="5" CssClass="styled"></asp:TextBox> mm
                <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" 
                    ErrorMessage="* Height must be a number" ControlToValidate="txtProductHeight" 
                    Display="Dynamic" Type="Double"></asp:CompareValidator>

when i submit the form (with valid items say 1.1 or 1.0) then the client script validates the text and allows the postback but the server side Page.Isvalid always has a problem with these values and doesnt matter what i put in it always raises the validator???

What have i done wrong?

Add

Operator="DataTypeCheck"

to your CompareValidator's declaration

 <asp:CompareValidator ID="CompareValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="txtProductHeight" Display="Dynamic"
          ErrorMessage="* Height must be a number" Type="Double" [red]Operator="DataTypeCheck"[/red]></asp:CompareValidator>
