Question

I’m using xval to use client side validation in my asp.net mvc2 web-application. Despite the errors it’s giving when I enter text in a numeric field, it still tries to post the form to the database. The incorrect values are being replaced by 0 and saved to the database. But instead it shouldn’t even be possible to try and submit the form. Can anyone help me out here?

I’ve set the attributes as below:

[Property]
[ShowColumnInCrud(true, label = "FromPriceInCents")]
[Required]
//[Range(1, Int32.MaxValue)]
public virtual Int32 FromPriceInCents{ get; set; }

The controller catching the request looks as below; I’m getting no errors in this part.

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
[Transaction]
[ValidateInput(false)]
public override ActionResult Create()
{
  //some foo happens
}

My view looks like below:

<div class="label"><label for="Price">FromPrice</label></div>
<div class="field">
<%= Html.TextBox("FromPriceInCents")%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("product.FromPriceInCents")%></div>

And at the end of the view i have the following rule which in html code generates the correct validation rules

<%= Html.ClientSideValidation<Product>("Product") %>

I hope someone can helps me out with this issue, thanks in advance!

EDIT: 19th April
I just found out that there is a normal button with being used instead of an input type=”Button” Could this be the issue?

<button class="save" type="submit" name="save"><span>Opslaan</span></button>
