Question

I want to do an ajax-style form validation (with green checkmarks showing when input is valid) for my asp.net form.

For two fields I use a custom validator and use jquery ajax to validate the values. For these validators, I piggy-back on the client-side validation in order to show a progressbar while the ajax call is waiting for a response and a green checkmark, if the result is ok.

For the other inputs I have requiredfiled and regex validators, and I would rather not turn them all in to custom validators. Is there a client-side event called on validation for non-custom validators?

Answer 1

You need to alter the client side evaluationfunction property on the validators
