custom validator

[gagz]

I'm trying to validate a form I have to make sure that at least one of the form elements is filled in. I am already using compare validators on a couple, so i decided to try the custom validator, even though it seems meant for only one control.

I created a dummy textbox to test this, here is the aspx code for it:

<asp:TextBox id=&quot;txtValidate&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot;></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<asp:CustomValidator id=&quot;CustomValidator1&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; ControlToValidate=&quot;txtValidate&quot; ErrorMessage=&quot;You must fill in at least one field.&quot; Display=&quot;dynamic&quot; OnClientValidate=&quot;verifyForm&quot;></asp:CustomValidator>

and here is the JS function, since i'm using OnClientValidate:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
    function verifyForm( oSrc, txtValue )
    {
    alert(&quot;test&quot;);
        var found = 0;
        for (var x = 0; x < document.Form1.length; x++) {
            if (!(document.Form1.elements[x].value==&quot;&quot;)) {
                found = 1;
            }
        }
        
        if (found == 0)
        {
            return false;
        } 
        else
        {
            return true;
        }
    }
</script>

its doesn't even enter the function, just submits the form... anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Not I
This is really just a shot in the dark but try adding () to the end of your function call.

asp:CustomValidator id=&quot;CustomValidator1&quot; runat=&quot;server&quot; ControlToValidate=&quot;txtValidate&quot; ErrorMessage=&quot;You must fill in at least one field.&quot; Display=&quot;dynamic&quot; OnClientValidate=&quot;verifyForm()&quot;></asp:CustomValidator>

That'l do donkey, that'l do
