Question

I have a DetailsView with a number of textboxes setup with RequiredFieldValidators.

The code for both is:

<InsertItemTemplate>
   <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("date_time") %>'></asp:TextBox>
   <asp:RequiredFieldValidator 
         ID="RequiredFieldValidator11" 
         runat="server" 
         ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
         ErrorMessage="Please update date_time." 
         ValidationGroup="InsertDetailsView1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
  </InsertItemTemplate>

The problem is that the validation control is now creating a space (ie
) between the textbox and the one below it. How do I get rid of the space? Is it a CSS thing?

Answer 1

Set this property: Display="Dynamic".
