Form Input

[paakay]

My form seems to be unstable. The reason is that even if I enter certain values that are within the value range the range validator seem to catch them.Below is my code
<tr>
<td style="height: 8px; width: 104px">
Rent(Monthly):</td>
<td style="height: 8px; width: 228px;">
<asp:TextBox ID="rentTextBox" runat="server" Width="100px" MaxLength="5">$</asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="rentReqdFldValidator" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="rentTextBox" ErrorMessage="Enter monthly rent">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
<cc1:ValidatorCalloutExtender ID="rentReqdFldValidator_ValidatorCalloutExtender"
runat="server" Enabled="True" TargetControlID="rentReqdFldValidator">
</cc1:ValidatorCalloutExtender>
<asp:RangeValidator ID="rentRangeValidator1" runat="server"
ControlToValidate="rentTextBox" ErrorMessage="Enter rent between $100 & $2500"
MaximumValue="$2500" MinimumValue="$100" Type="String">*</asp:RangeValidator>

</td>
</tr>
Any help will be much appreciated

the $ symbol is probably the problem. $ is formatting. to validate a number you don't need the formatting, just the data.

$<asp:TextBox ID="rentTextBox" runat="server" Width="100px" MaxLength="5" />
<asp:RangeValidator ID="rentRangeValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rentTextBox" ErrorMessage="Enter rent between $100 & $2500" MaximumValue="2500" MinimumValue="100" Type="String" Text="*" />

See if this fixes it for you.

<asp:RangeValidator ID="rentRangeValidator1" runat="server" ControlToValidate="rentTextBox" ErrorMessage="Enter rent between $100 & $2500" MaximumValue="2500" MinimumValue="100" Type="Currency">*</asp:RangeValidator>

Remove the "$" from the Maximum and Minimum value properties.
