RequiredFieldValidator not working on deployed server

[ggeorgiou01]

Hi All,

I have a simple form, which contains a asp textbox and a requiredfieldvalidator, with a submit button.

I can run my website up locally and there is not a problem, and the form works like it should and displays an error message, if the field is left blank.

However... Once deployed to my live web server, the form behaves differently and postback's the page instead of displaying the error message...

Why is this happening ? ...I am really stomped on this one!

Thank you in advance,

George

Can you provide a link to the live site?

No - Sorry I should have specified that it is on our intranet and not accessible through the net. Any ideas though ?

I have seen a couple of posts on google about people having simlar problems to mine, but have failed to find a solution to the problem.

G,

OK, in that case can you provide the HTML that the browser sees?

It all works locally on my machine, so I dont see why I shouldnt work on my deployment server!

Thanks for the help, ca8msm!

That's the aspx code, not the HTML that the browser sees.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var ctl00_ValidationSummary1 = document.all ? document.all["ctl00_ValidationSummary1"] : document.getElementById("ctl00_ValidationSummary1");
ctl00_ValidationSummary1.headertext = " Fields highlighted in yellow and marked with an asterisk are mandatory fields, and must be completed.";
ctl00_ValidationSummary1.validationGroup = "Product";
var ctl00_NotesRfv = document.all ? document.all["ctl00_NotesRfv"] : document.getElementById("ctl00_NotesRfv");
ctl00_NotesRfv.controltovalidate = "ctl00_NotesTb";
ctl00_NotesRfv.focusOnError = "t";
ctl00_NotesRfv.validationGroup = "Product";
ctl00_NotesRfv.evaluationfunction = "RequiredFieldValidatorEvaluateIsValid";
ctl00_NotesRfv.initialvalue = "";
// -->
</script>

This section shows that the validation controls are outputting the correct javascript so that isn't the problem. It could be down to something else such as virus checkers, blockers etc that interfere with the browser.
