ValidationSummary inside a Datalist Item

[Alcar]

Hi,

is it normal that the ValidationSummary control screws up the postback of the Datalist control?

let's say that inside the EditItemTemplate of the DataList you have a lot of TextBoxes you want to validate.

I added manually (in the HTML view) the single validators and I grouped all the errors at the end in a nice ValidationSummary control.

zip, nada.. this last buddy created funny behaviors of my fresh aspx page:

Once I let the errors appear on the summary control, my update button won't force a post back, therefore I am stuck with the edit item template view and cannot switch back to the normal Item view.

I fixed it by removing the validation summary control, do you guys have other ideas???

Thanks,
Alcar

I haven't used the validation stuff much but could you try moving your validation summary outside of the item template. I don't see why it would change anything but...... Crystal
