RadInputManager and jQuery

[Hessner]

Hi,

With jQuery already built in, I am planning to use the jQuery tabs functionality.

My scenario are:

All three tabs contains two asp.net controls each.

All six controls a defined inside RadInputManager.

When I press a "submit" button and, lets say one control inside tab 1 and one control inside tab 2 fails - then I first want to
open tab 1,the user can then enter some valid data here. He will press "submit" again, and now tab 2 should open because the validation fails here.

Can this behavior be controlled clientside?

Hello Hessner,

Attached to this post you will find one possible solution in this scenario.
Generally you will have to attach client function on form submit which you will check RadInputManager state. If it find control that is invalid will focus the tab that hosts this particular input.

All the best,

Thank you for the example - it worked out perfect!

One more question - I have two submit buttons on the page, but only one should fire the radinputmanager validations, how to disable validation pressing the secund submit button?

Hello Hessner,

Simply set CausesValidation="false" to the second button.
Thus no validation will be triggered on page submit.

Or you can use ValidationGroup if the second button should validate some other controls but not the input mgr.

You are both right, off course - thanks.
