Hi all,

I have a hyperlink ,my requirement is if the hyperlink is not clicked then an error message should pop up.
all validations provided are for input control and this is hyperlinks.How to handle it.

Thanks.

That sounds odd. A hyperlink should navigate the to another page, so why would they still be on the same page?

I'm not sure why you are doing what you are doing, but how about using a link button?

no it navigates but if the user dont click on hyperlink and not select a category then we should show a msg to please select a catergory.

A link is the wrong type of element really. Users will probably expect this to go to another page without validation. However, you could use a LinkButton as jbenson001 suggests if you don't want to substitute this for a button.

You could also do this client-side with javascript. See here for an example:
