Validation, help me troubleshoot why it's broke...

[ahmun]

Hi all,

I am diving in feet first for the first time in ASP.NET, and am having trouble with some validation.

I am simply using the required field validation, but for some reason my server doesn't seem to run it.

I'm currently working on a CMS in .NET and have it succesfully working on a hosted testing site, however, when I implement the identical site on my in-house server, the validation doesn't work.

My test was on a simple login page.

two fields, both required.

On the testing server, if I leave both fields blank, and hit submit, the page tells the user that those fields are requred.

On my server in-house, it does validate the page, but also runs all the script to process the login (thus passing a blank user and password to the business logic)

What's going on? Is there something to setting up .NET framework that I should know of?

All I did was install it via Windows Update, onto my web server.

After doing a search on this site with no results, I went out to google and found this:

http://www.aspnetresources.com/blog/ie_validators.aspx

It turns out that I didn't have the aspnet_client folder in the root of the website. Since I'm running multiple sites on this one server, the aspnet_client folder was sitting on the main

http://wwwroot,

but in the process of creating these sub-webs, the aspnet_client wasn't replicated to their root drives.

Validation was working on one site but not the other...

This wasn't a very obvious solution, or perhaps I don't know the full capabilities of ASP.NET and how to configure it yet.

I welcome any comments to help me understand the structure better.

Thanks
