Question

I have several tabs that are loaded via ajax, and each one has a set of validators. I want to allow the user to change tabs only if the tab is valid

I thought setting a validationgroup to the validators and then check for the specific group like this, would work:

function validatePage(group) {     return Page_ClientValidate(group); } 

However, when I call the function, it always returns true. Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong?

I check it like this

alert(validatePage('presentaciones')); 

And I have some validators:

// (...) <asp:TextBox ValidationGroup='presentaciones' id='txtDescription' runat='server' Text='<%# Eval('Description') %>' MaxLength='50' /> <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID='DescriptionRequiredFieldValidator' runat='server' ControlToValidate='txtDescription' SetFocusOnError='true' ValidationGroup='presentaciones' ErrorMessage='Debe ingresar una descripción' Display='Dynamic' /> // (...)

I have made groups work server-side with Page.Validate(group) but I wasn’t aware this could be done client-side. Perhaps you need to implement a custom validation control that checks the status of each tab.
