custom javascript and requiredfieldvalidator 1

[DotNetGnat]

Guys,

I have (lets say) a form with one field search field...i put a required field validator which will signal when the search textbox is empty...which works fine..no problem there...

now i have added a custom javascript onClick event that shows the progress bar...something like this...

btnsubmit.Atrributes.Add("onClick", showObject(Process);")

now what happens is if the textbox is empty and the submit button is clicked the Process object shows up besides the requiredfieldvalidator...

how can show this object only after requiredfieldvalidator event...

Just a thought:
change showObject(Process) to showObject(Process, txt)
txt is the asp textbox you are validating.

change: btnsubmit.Atrributes.Add("onClick", showObject(Process);")
to: btnsubmit.Atrributes.Add("onClick", showObject(Process, '" & txtSearch.ID & "');")

Note: replace "txtSearch" with the name of your text box

in the javascript function showObject(Process, txt) add an if statement to check if the text box is empty, if it is don't display your message. i.e.
if (txt.value.length > 0)
{
//Code to display your progress bar.
}



Let me put it this way:
While StressLevel Is High
Productivity -= 1
Marriage = Nothing
End While
